Ukraine does not have time for long-term work on how to come to peace in a war with Russia. We need to act quickly, states Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"We don't have time for prolonged work. Moving to peace means acting fast. Preparations will take months, not years. When the action plans for peace are ready and when every step is worked out, the path will be opened for the second peace summit, and thus for ending this war for a just and lasting peace," Zelenskyy said.

According to him, there are already a number of countries that want to host the second peace summit, and Ukraine has already begun discussing this issue.

"We started talks with them. I am confident that the choice will have true global significance," the president emphasized.
