According to Zelenskyy, Ukraine consistently maintains a constructive approach to negotiations and expects Russia to show a reciprocal willingness to de-escalate.
“The Prime Minister has said on more than one occasion – including to the Russian leader – that now is the time to end the war, not to continue it,”
During the dialogue, special attention was paid to the issue of Russia’s blockade of grain exports through the Black Sea. Zelenskyy noted that the blocked maritime corridors are harming both Russia’s own economy and food security for other countries.

The parties agreed that relevant teams would remain in contact to advance bilateral relations.
