Details: Zelenskyy said the day began with a meeting with Ukraine's European and US partners. The Ukrainian, US and Russian delegations then held trilateral talks.

He described the trilateral format as "constructive and quite substantive".

Quote: "They had time to discuss the need and possible parameters for humanitarian steps. The release of prisoners is a priority. They spoke in detail about the substance of security guarantees for Ukraine and the foundations for ensuring these guarantees function over the long term. Real tools are needed to block any recurrence of the war."

Details: The need for de-escalation steps was also discussed.

Zelenskyy has given the Ukrainian team clear instructions for tomorrow's trilateral talks and further discussions with the US presidential envoys and European representatives over the coming days.

Quote: "The main thing is to truly bring peace closer. And on Ukraine's part, there will be only productive, high-quality and honest work. I thank the American side for organising these negotiations and the UAE for providing a reliable platform for them."
