Following his meeting with Witkoff and Kushner, Zelenskyy summarised week’s talks: three key outcomes
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met in Ireland with US President’s Special Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to review the outcome of a week of talks and outlined three key outcomes of the agreements.
He announced this on social media, according to Censor.NET.
Three key outcomes
"Firstly: a humanitarian outcome – prisoners will be released, and we are expecting the largest prisoner exchange since the start of this war. Secondly: we are involving European representatives even more actively in diplomacy so that they can sit at the negotiating table on an equal footing. Ukraine always defends the interests of the whole of Europe. Thirdly: we are also preparing for further multilateral meetings. Diplomacy will remain active," Zelenskyy emphasised.
Zelenskyy thanked Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner for their intensive communication, and also expressed his gratitude to Ireland for organising the European Political Community summit and providing a platform for negotiations.
