The President of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, has confirmed that the Ukrainian delegation is already in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, to take part in a new series of trilateral talks with Russia and the United States.
"Our negotiating team is already in the United Arab Emirates. The first meeting will be tomorrow. Our European partners will also be there and we are going to have different formats," Zelenski explained in his usual evening address.
The head of state emphasized that all these contacts "must serve a single purpose: bringing about a real peace." In addition, he stressed that "our team will propose de-escalation measures and there must be an understanding on how to organize a trilateral meeting at the level of leaders in order to end this war and end it in a just and true way".
Zelenski also highlighted that he has had a conversation with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to whom he said he is "very grateful" for her "support and understanding." He also advanced that "there will be more support from the European Union."
