Quote: "Our negotiating team has briefed me on the two-day talks. As regards their substance, you know there are two areas – military and political. I want to say that all three sides were constructive on the military component, at least from the briefing I've just received."

Details: Zelenskyy noted that no such progress had been made in the political area.

"As regards the political area – all the sensitive issues you are aware of – we see that some work has been done, but positions are still different, as the talks were not easy," he said.

He added that the Ukrainian delegation will provide him with further details later.

"Regarding the military area, I've heard of progress. In the political area – well, there was dialogue, agreements to move forward and continue, but I did not hear the same kind of progress as in the military one," the president concluded.
