Sybiha on expectations from the talks between Zelensky and Trump

Sybiga noted that Ukraine expects to receive an understanding of the parameters of future security guarantees at the meeting between Zelensky and Trump, which will take place today, August 18.

In addition, the Minister of Foreign Affairs emphasized that before the meeting in Washington, Ukraine had a coordinated and consolidated position with its partners on ending a full-scale war.

The Minister also added that the Ukrainian side is ready to work on preparing for a trilateral meeting between Zelensky, Trump, and Putin.

"We welcome the efforts of the American side. And thanks to the negotiations that President Zelensky held with President Trump and European allies, we have made significant progress.

It seems to me that we can affirmatively say that we have a consolidated, coordinated, unified position with our allies.

If we talk about expectations from this meeting, it is further progress, a clear understanding of the parameters of future security guarantees, further work, and the approaching meeting in a trilateral format — Zelensky, Putin, and Trump," Sybiha summarized.
