The Head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak, spoke with the US Secretary of State, acting US National Security Advisor to the President, Marco Rubio. They coordinated positions ahead of important diplomatic steps planned for this week, UNN reports.

I informed about active communication with partners, particularly during the meeting with US Vice President J.D. Vance. We coordinated positions ahead of important diplomatic steps planned for this week. For Ukraine, the priority is a just and lasting peace, which includes an unconditional ceasefire as a prerequisite for substantive negotiations, as well as increased pressure on Russia to take real steps in this direction.

In addition, the Head of the Presidential Office thanked President Donald Trump for his leadership in seeking to end Russia's war against Ukraine and all the American people for their support and assistance, as well as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who does much to achieve a just peace.

Yermak also expressed gratitude to the US President's Special Representative for Ukraine, General Keith Kellogg, for his unwavering support of our state.

We continue to work. Peace through strength
