Zelenskyy: Actively preparing for talks with President Biden, reps of both parties in Congress
The Ukrainian side is actively preparing for negotiations in the United States, which are planned to be held both with U.S. President Joseph Biden and with representatives of both parties in Congress and U.S. presidential candidates, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an evening address.
"We in Ukraine will always be grateful to the United States for supporting our independence – for all the assistance provided so that Ukraine can survive in this war. And now we will present a very specific plan on how Ukraine can not only survive in this war, not just maintain the level of resistance, as it is now, but now strengthen itself – strengthen itself in such a way as to really bring a just peace closer, to really bring victory closer," the president said.
He said Ukraine is heavily relying on continued support.
"And this is fair. Because when one nation wins the battle for its independence and respect for international law, the whole world wins. This is how it should be," Zelenskyy said.
