President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as part of his visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), met with his counterpart, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, in Abu Dhabi, the official Telegram channel of Volodymyr Zelenskyy reports.
One of the key topics of the talks was the return of Ukrainians from Russian captivity.
"The UAE's mediation has saved many lives. We are grateful for this crucial cooperation and today we discussed how to continue it," the Ukrainian President noted.
Furthermore, Zelenskyy stated that today, Ukraine and the UAE will sign an economic agreement that will significantly liberalize access to the UAE market for nearly all Ukrainian goods. This will make it easier for Ukrainian companies to sell their products.
"The First Lady's work was also intensive. Key issues of humanitarian cooperation were discussed, including rehabilitation, support for large foster families, and aid for our people," the Ukrainian President added.
