Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday that he would meet US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Dublin on Thursday, after their planned talks in Russia, Anadolu Agency reported.
In a post on the social media platform “X”, Zelenskyy said negotiations in Abu Dhabi involving Ukrainian, US and Russian representatives had focused on preparations for a new prisoner exchange, security guarantees for Ukraine and broader diplomatic formats involving European partners.
“Next, the American representatives are heading to Russia, and after those talks, we will coordinate our positions once again and determine what next steps are possible. We are meeting with them tomorrow in Dublin,” he said.
Zelenskyy reiterated that Ukraine’s priority was to end the war “as soon as possible” through a dignified peace. He stressed that Europe must be involved at every stage of the diplomatic process.
He also called on Washington to maintain a firm position and increase pressure on Moscow to end the war, which he said Russia had started.
“It is essential that the United States have a strong position and exert influence on the source of this war – that is Russia – so that Russia ends the war of its own making,” Zelenskyy said.
