This was announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
«I would call it our Washington group, and other groups of European leaders — we will be meeting, ” Zelenskyy noted.
Additionally, the President highlighted ongoing talks with the U.S.
«There are several issues with the American side. The first is programs. The second issue: Russia demonstrates its unwillingness for diplomacy through attacks on civilian infrastructure, killing our civilians and children. We urgently sought to convene the UN Security Council. Thanks to our partners, we secured nine votes and succeeded. Tomorrow, the Prime Minister will represent Ukraine at the Security Council regarding Russia’s attacks on Ukraine. The Prime Minister, Yulia Svyrydenko, will also hold a separate meeting with U.S. businesses and potential investors—those we already know as prospective partners, ” he added.
Regarding coordination with other countries, Zelenskyy noted that Defense Minister Rustem Umerov is engaging separately with Turkey. «We are working in several directions, including on security guarantees, ” the President clarified.
