Details: Zelenskyy said Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi has briefed Ukraine's partners on the country's financial needs.
The Ukrainian leader also said that French President Emmanuel Macron has proposed that efforts to counter Russia's shadow fleet be stepped up and that a separate meeting be held on the issue.
"Europe must have a seat at the negotiating table. In any case, I'll be honest: many of the leaders who spoke today are genuinely sceptical about whether Putin is willing to engage in any negotiations at this point," Zelenskyy added.
