Ukraine, along with the UK, France, and the US, will discuss ways to end the war with Russia. Representatives of the four countries will meet on April 23 in London, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

According to Zelenskyy, he held a good and detailed conversation with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

"Already this Wednesday, our representatives will be working in London. Ukraine, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States - we are ready to move forward as constructively as possible, just as we have done before, to achieve an unconditional ceasefire, followed by the establishment of a real and lasting peace," Zelenskyy emphasized.

He thanked all partners who are helping Ukraine.

Zelenskyy said a ceasefire without additional conditions must be the first step toward peace. And Easter showed that Russia’s actions are the reason the war continues.

The President added that he also discussed joint efforts within European security formats with Starmer.

Meeting in Paris

Last week, Ukrainian, American, German, French, and British officials held talks in Paris. They discussed the possibility of achieving a lasting peace between Ukraine and Russia.

Andriy Yermak, Head of the Office of the President, who took part in the talks, noted that this meeting marked the beginning of a new negotiation format.

Immediately after the meeting, French President Emmanuel Macron announced new talks in the same format to be held in London. However, he did not specify an exact date.
