Trilateral talks in the United Arab Emirates, Zelensky: Ukraine's position is clear

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that his delegation at the trilateral talks in the United Arab Emirates has been included in the framework of the dialogue, emphasizing the urgent need for Moscow to clarify its readiness to end the war.

"Ukrainian positions are clear. I have defined the framework of dialogue for our delegation.", Zelensky said in his speech, referring to high-level meetings involving Ukrainian, American and Russian representatives.

Underlining the format of the dialogue, Zelensky noted that the parties are discussing "the parameters of ending the war," but insisted that concrete answers are now required from the Russian side.

""Now they should have at least some of the answers from Russia, the main thing is that Russia is ready to end this war." he said, adding that it is "too early to conclude" before the next round of talks.

The president confirmed that the Ukrainian delegation, currently led by the head of the National Security and Defense Council, Rustem Umerov, and the head of the presidential office, Kyrylo Budanov, will be reinforced tomorrow by the Chief of the General Staff Andrii Hnatov and Deputy Chief of Defense Intelligence Vadym Skibitsky.

In parallel with the diplomatic path, Zelensky pointed to the strengthening of defense capabilities, citing a "positive signal" from a conversation with US President Donald Trump regarding the supply of PAC-3 missiles for Patriot air defense systems.
