Emphasis on Diplomacy and Cooperation with Allies
Following these discussions, Zelensky announced that Ukrainian negotiators had met with their American counterparts and reviewed specific details. He added: "We will share these details with European parties, and the Americans will also talk to the Russians. We will return to these negotiations within ten days with a new perspective or outcome."
The Kremlin also announced on Friday that a tripartite meeting with Ukraine and the United States may soon be possible. This diplomatic cooperation reflects ongoing efforts to reduce tensions and find peaceful solutions to the current crisis.
Zelensky also urged Biden to raise the issue of the Ukraine war in his meeting with Xi Jinping, the President of China, who is currently in the United States. He is still awaiting feedback from the American team, especially regarding efforts to reduce tensions before the winter season.
