Zelenskyy says Russia sending negative signals on talks and future developments

As Zelenskyy said, he had a “very good conversation” with Finnish President Alexander Stubb. They coordinated positions to achieve more significant results.

He noted that the teams were actively preparing the architecture of strong and multilateral security guarantees for Ukraine. European and American partners, as well as other countries of the Coalition of the Willing, are taking part in the preparations.

Military commanders, defense ministers, and security advisers are working at various levels on the components of future security.

“We are accelerating the process of defining the details. It is already time to organize the format for the leaders’ discussions to determine the key priorities and timelines,” Zelenskyy said.

The president also emphasized the importance of relations with the United States and the maximum substance in these contacts.

“Unfortunately, the Russians are currently sending negative signals regarding meetings and further developments. Strikes on our cities and villages continue. Every day there are new victims. The Russians will only react to real pressure in response to all this. Pressure is needed. We are counting on it. Concrete steps are needed from Russia – steps toward real diplomacy,” the head of state added.

Zelenskyy thanked Stubb for his constructiveness and advice and noted that he would be glad to see him in Kyiv.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb stated recently that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is deliberately putting forward conditions that cannot be accepted. These demands are unrealistic.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney believes that Putin is afraid to meet with Zelenskyy to discuss the conditions for ending the war.
