Quote: "You said about the next meeting, I just wanted to underline that the next meeting will be also in Switzerland. That's what I have information for today. Of course, our group will come back, and I will have more open briefs than I had by phone."
Details: Zelenskyy emphasised the importance of the negotiating process taking place in Europe.
Quote: "I think the good point really is that we had a meeting in Switzerland. I mean, this is very important. I always raise this, with all respect to the Middle East and other countries, but I think, if the war is in Europe, then we need to find a place and people, Europeans, they have to feel that this is aggression against us and against Europe."
