President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has noted that, amid the ongoing discussions about the "peace plan", it is essential to remain highly alert to the threat of Russian strikes in the coming days.

Quote: "We must also be cognisant that Russia will not ease its pressure on us, on Ukraine, on our people. In these days and weeks, it is essential to take air-raid warnings and all similar strike threats very seriously.

We clearly understand whom we are dealing with, and all necessary orders have been issued within the Air Force and across all other components of Ukraine's defence forces. We will react.

And it would be fair for all our partners – especially for the American side – to take into account the threat that their own intelligence also sees. If there are negotiations, if there is constructive engagement, if we are truly ending the war – then there must be no missiles, no large-scale strikes on Ukraine, on our people."

Details: Zelenskyy noted that the Ukrainian delegation had returned from Geneva after talks with the American side and European partners and that the list of steps required to end the war could now become workable.

He stated that following the Geneva meetings, the number of plan points had decreased – no longer 28 – and that "many of the right elements have been taken into account in this framework".

Quote: "There is still work for all of us to do together – it is very challenging – to finalise the document, and we must do everything with dignity. We appreciate that most of the world is ready to help us and that the American side is approaching this constructively. Practically the entire day yesterday was filled with meetings – and it was challenging, extremely thorough work."
