While acknowledging notable work remains, Zelensky emphasized Ukraine‘s commitment to a peaceful resolution. “There is still work to do together - it is not easy – to finalize the document, and we must do everything with dignity,” he stated. He further revealed his intention to personally negotiate the most sensitive aspects of the agreement with former U.S. President Donald Trump.
