"Patience, support and diplomatic pressure are the three factors for a just end to the war. If the U.S. and European nations maintain unity, it will be added pressure, and show Moscow that there is no chance," he said.

He noted that Kyiv would start detailed discussions with relevant countries on territorial integrity and other issues. He said that he would create an action plan for peace by the end of November.
Zelensky revealed that during a phone call he had invited former U.S. President Donald Trump to visit his country.
"If Mr. Trump wants to learn something about Ukraine, he can come and see for himself or ask me. We have been in contact with his team. Mr. Trump told me he was available for any questions, and that I have his phone number," Zelensky said.
Zelensky also stressed the importance of Japan's support.
He said: "Japan is a representative of the Group of Seven and has provided us with economic, humanitarian and technical support. They came to our aid so quickly. It was the first non-NATO country to sign a security cooperation deal with Ukraine."
He expressed hope that Japan would exercise its influence on other countries as a leader in the Pacific region, and provide cooperation for Ukraine's reconstruction.
