Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said a trilateral meeting involving the United States on ending Russia's war against Ukraine will take place soon, although its format has not yet been finally decided.

Quote: "There has been a conversation with representatives of the group of the president of the United States, and we agreed that there will soon be a trilateral meeting, or there will be a format in which the American group will come to us and then probably go to the neighbours [Russia]."

Details: Zelenskyy said work is ongoing to refine the issue of security guarantees for Ukraine, as answers have not yet been found to key questions.

Among those questions, Zelenskyy named, in particular, how Ukraine's Armed Forces will be financed after the war, how to obtain air defence systems that are important both for European countries and countries of the Middle East, and "the most difficult question", the US response to a new aggression by Russia, should such aggression occur.

Background:

Kyrylo Budanov, Head of the Ukrainian President's Office, expects that a US delegation may arrive in Kyiv after Orthodox Easter.
He said the American delegation, led by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, may visit Kyiv after 12 April.
It was reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy invited the US negotiating delegation to Kyiv.
