Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in New York. Among other things, they discussed ways to achieve peace in Ukraine, according to the President's post.
"I had a substantive meeting with President of Brazil Lula da Silva. We spoke about the most important issue – the ways to achieve real peace for Ukraine," Zelenskyy wrote.
He added that he is ready to meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, but Moscow is not ready. Therefore, strong international pressure is needed to push forward the path to dialogue.

The Ukrainian President invited his counterpart to visit Ukraine.
