(MENAFN) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Thursday that a delegation from Ukraine is scheduled to visit the United States “at the beginning of next week.”

In a statement posted on the US-based social media platform X, Zelenskyy revealed that Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko will lead the delegation, which will also include Andriy Yermak, head of Ukraine’s Presidential Office, and Sanctions Policy Commissioner Vladyslav Vlasiuk.

Zelenskyy outlined the key agenda points: “Topics include air defense, energy, and sanctions steps, as well as the negotiation track. The issue of frozen assets will also be discussed with the U.S.”

He emphasized ongoing efforts to sustain the “Coalition of the Willing” and expressed confidence that US President Donald Trump desires Kyiv’s presence in negotiations. “I think he very much wants to see a ceasefire and an end to the war. I believe this was his goal from the very beginning. We are grateful for that,” Zelenskyy stated.

The Ukrainian leader also conveyed optimism following his recent encounter with Trump, noting it helped clarify to the US president that Russian promises are unreliable. “I believe this was his goal from the very beginning. We are grateful for that,” Zelenskyy further said.

He added, "What’s particularly important is that following our meeting, a dialogue is continuing at various levels. And by the way, everyone notes that despite the cold weather outside, our relations remain warm at various levels.”

Zelenskyy and Trump last met in New York during the 80th session of the UN General Assembly in September, a meeting the Ukrainian president described as "productive."
