Quote: "A detailed briefing by the Ukrainian delegation following all their meetings in the United States. We discussed in person the matters that cannot be addressed over the phone.

Rustem Umierov and participants in the negotiations in Florida reported on the key points raised by the American side in the dialogue. The work was based on the Geneva document, and that document has been refined."

Details: Zelenskyy said that, with intelligence services involved, discussions were held with the American side on the prospects for implementing various steps on the front line and on the issue of ensuring protection from Russian strikes and from the risk of agreements being disrupted in the event of a ceasefire.

Ukrainian diplomats are actively working with all partners to ensure that European countries and other members of the Coalition of the Willing are meaningfully involved in developing decisions.

Quote: "I informed the team about my conversations with European leaders and with Steve Witkoff, which took place earlier in Paris. We note that the Russians have already launched new disinformation campaigns in view of preparations for their upcoming meetings with the American side."

Details: Zelenskyy said he had instructed his team to continue the most constructive work possible with Trump's team, as well as with European partners.

"Ukrainian intelligence will provide partners with all available information regarding Russia's true intentions and its attempts to use diplomatic engagement as cover to weaken sanctions and block important collective European decisions," he said.

The president stressed that Ukraine treats all diplomatic work with utmost seriousness.

Quote: "We are committed to achieving real peace and guaranteed security. This is exactly the level of commitment that must be compelled from the Russian side, and this task can be accomplished only together with our partners. The secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine will maintain continuous contact with the United States to determine the schedule of future meetings."
