Speaking to journalists, the President noted that the first step should be a ceasefire. According to him, even the example of other regions of the world shows how difficult it is to observe the ceasefire.

"First of all, I think we need to sit down and talk. The second thing is that we need a ceasefire. Even now, as you can see in the Middle East, it is very difficult to adhere to the ceasefire," Zelensky said.

The Ukrainian president emphasized that the format of the negotiations is not important; the most important thing is that the result is a just peace.

"Bilateral, trilateral: it does not matter. Just peace. This is important," he emphasized.
