Quote: "We are in contact with President Trump's envoys every day, and that is important. At the meeting in Washington, we discussed how new circumstances could be created to enable real diplomacy. We are working to make all this happen. [Kyrylo] Budanov, [Rustem] Umierov, [Davyd] Arakhamiia and [Serhii] Kyslytsya delivered reports – each on their respective elements of the negotiation track – on where we currently stand in the negotiations and what is happening in Moscow regarding its attitude toward the negotiations. We will be ready for meetings in any format, and we expect Witkoff and Kushner to be active now, in August."

Details: Zelenskyy also reported that work is also continuing with other partners, including in the Gulf states, that could support diplomatic efforts and security needs.
