Quote: "Today, I also spoke with Rustem Umierov [the head of Ukraine's negotiating team in the trilateral peace talks] regarding his communications with the American side.

We continue to engage with the United States on practically a daily basis. For now, because of the situation with Iran, the necessary signals for a trilateral meeting haven't come yet.

But as soon as the security situation and the broader political context allow us to resume the trilateral diplomatic work, it will be done. Ukraine is ready for it."

Details: Zelenskyy said he is grateful to Ukraine's intelligence services, the President's Office and all the agencies involved for the steps they have taken to make further prisoner exchanges possible.

Quote: "We hope for good news."

Background: It was reported earlier today that the time and venue of the next round of talks between Ukraine, Russia and the US remain unclear.
