Details: Sybiha reiterated that at the previous meeting in Istanbul, three agreements were reached: on the prisoner swap, on the exchange of memoranda on the parameters of a ceasefire, and on starting work to determine the format, venue and timing of a meeting between Zelenskyy and Putin.

"And of course, we will welcome it if this meeting takes place in a broader format, in particular with the participation of President Trump," Sybiha said.

Background:

• On 28 May, Zelenskyy told journalists that he was ready for a meeting between the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, and the United States in any format.
• Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that a meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy is possible, but only as a result of agreed decisions between the delegations of both sides.
