Quote: "We are currently preparing for meetings with the US side and our European friends in the coming days. Berlin will host many events.

There will be a briefing from Secretary Umierov [Head of the National Defence and Security Council – ed.] and our negotiating team on their meetings that have already taken place. General Hnatov and representatives of Ukraine's defence and security sector will be working on the details of security guarantees for Ukraine, for Ukrainians. At the same time, Ukrainian government officials continue discussions with the United States and Europe on the real recovery of Ukraine and real development of Ukraine after the war.

Most importantly, I will be meeting with envoys of President Trump, and there will also be meetings with our European partners, with many leaders, concerning the foundation of peace – a political agreement to end the war."

Details: Zelenskyy noted that "the chance is considerable at this moment".

"We are working to ensure that peace for Ukraine is dignified, and to secure a guarantee – a guarantee, above all, that Russia will not return to Ukraine for a third invasion. I thank all partners who are helping us – helping Ukraine. And over these days in Berlin, we will work as actively and constructively as possible with everyone who can genuinely bring the agreement to normal terms," he said.
