Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the US leader's envoys discussed several issues related to the peace process on June 8, according to the Ukrainian head of state on Telegram.

According to the president, the conversation with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner was very positive.

Zelenskyy thanked them for the opportunity to work as actively as possible in the coming weeks in order to "give momentum to diplomacy aimed at ending Russia’s war against Ukraine."

As the Ukrainian head of state noted, Kyiv understands that much attention is currently focused on the situation around Iran. However, the goal of achieving peace in Europe remains on the agenda.

"We discussed prospects in the context of the G7 summit and other events in June. I informed them about the information we have regarding Moscow’s intentions," Zelenskyy clarified.

The president also thanked US officials for their words of respect for Ukrainians and their positive assessment of Ukraine’s positions.
