Details
The President of Ukraine informed about all the details of diplomatic work and constant communication with partners. The coordination of joint decisions, coordination of next steps, and discussion of possible meeting formats are ongoing in the near future.
Zelenskyy shared the Ukrainian vision of Russia's true intentions and plans. The leaders equally understand that the Russians only want to buy time, not end the war. This is evidenced, in particular, by the situation on the battlefield and Russian strikes on civilian targets and people.
The leaders have a common position: no decisions concerning Ukraine's future can be made without Ukraine. Also, there can be no decisions without clear and effective security guarantees. Until this happens, sanctions against Russia must work and be constantly strengthened. This influence must be maintained.
The President of Ukraine and the Prime Minister of Canada also coordinated further contacts with partners.
