Zelenskyy: Next Round of Talks on Sunday – “It Would Be Good to Hold Them Earlier”

Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the next round of negotiations to end the war in Ukraine will take place on Sunday (February 1st). However, he stressed that it would be preferable for the talks to begin earlier. In a video message, Zelenskyy stated that during the previous round of negotiations in Abu Dhabi, the two sides discussed the steps that need to be taken to end the war and how to oversee a potential peace agreement. The Ukrainian president also called on allies to maintain pressure on Moscow, as the restoration of the energy infrastructure after Russian strikes continues around the clock. He thanked the countries providing assistance to Ukraine, including Cyprus. The announcement comes at a critical moment, as the conflict in Ukraine continues with unabated intensity. Zelenskyy's desire for faster negotiations underscores the need for an immediate diplomatic solution.
