"We are buying weapons in the USA. We have several partners who are ready to finance this... We want this corridor to function and to function faster", - said President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky at a briefing on Friday, August 29, naming the first goal of the Ukrainian delegation’s visit, which departed for the USA to meet with the special envoy of the US President, Steve Witkoff, — writes Zn.ua.
The second topic for the meeting, according to the president, will be russia’s demonstration of unwillingness for a diplomatic settlement, in particular through its strikes on Ukrainian cities.
For this purpose, Zelensky noted, Ukraine convened a meeting of the UN Security Council, at which Ukraine will be represented by Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko.
The president also noted that the head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak, will hold a direct meeting with Steve Witkoff, which will also be attended by Marco Rubio and Serhiy Kyslytsia, who "will voice what we had agreed with President Trump".
Zelensky added that Ukraine is currently working in several directions, including with Turkey, and next week will hold a series of negotiations with European partners.
