We Work To Build New Pressure And Clear Global Position On Russia Zelensky

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, he stated this in his video address.

"Today, I also received briefings from our delegation in the United States: Rustem Umerov reported on meetings with envoys of President Trump. Several rounds of talks have already taken place. Work is underway on documents needed to end the war," Zelensky said.

According to him, it is crucial that the Ukrainian team fully informs the American side about what is happening in Ukraine and the ongoing Russian attacks on the country's energy infrastructure.

"If the Russians seriously wanted to end the war, they'd focus on diplomacy – not on missile strikes, blackouts, and even attempts to damage our nuclear power plants. We have information about the sites Russia reconnoitered in preparation for strikes. Everything clearly shows that diplomacy is not a priority for Russia. This must be acknowledged. Pressure on the aggressor and the real cause of this war must continue. The cause is in Moscow. In the coming week, we will work to build this new pressure and a clear global position on Russia," Zelensky concluded.
