Zelensky: Partners say Ukraine is getting stronger on battlefield
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that European and U.S. partners have noted Ukraine's strengthening on the battlefield. According to him, this gives Ukraine greater confidence in any format of future discussions, including with Russia.
Ukrainian President Zelensky stated during a joint press conference with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner that Ukraine is growing stronger on the battlefield, according to Ukrinform. Despite a pause in air raids in Kyiv, discussions will continue for an additional day, possibly even three. Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine has strengthened its position in the east, where Russian forces remain active and have increased their troop numbers.
He further stated that the issue of Donbas is a key aspect of the war, serving as a Ukrainian stronghold and a territorial goal for Russia. Zelensky expressed hope for trilateral meetings, including with European partners, despite Russia's reluctance to participate.
