Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday shared a significant update on the next diplomatic meeting, stating that preparations are underway for the upcoming meeting this week. The meeting, planned in Europe, is aimed at strengthening Ukraine’s defense and accelerating the end of the war with Russia.

The Ukrainian President further stressed that Ukraine remains open to diplomacy but will also be ready to continue active defense.

“We are preparing for meetings in Europe this week. Of course, we are also in constant communication with the team of the President of the United States. Air defense for Ukraine and support for Ukraine are daily tasks, and every day we must deliver results," Zelenskyy said.

“New decisions will be made in the interests of our state. The Ukrainian negotiating team is working around the clock," he added.

Diplomatic efforts to end the war have gained pace in recent weeks, although both Moscow and Kyiv remain at odds over the key issue of territory.

Notably, Russia is pushing for full control of the country’s eastern Donbas region as part of a deal. But Kyiv has warned that ceding ground will embolden Moscow and said it will not sign a peace deal that fails to deter Russia from invading again.
