Ukrainian President Zelensky posted on his official social media platform on January 7 that he had received the first report from Umerov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, on the same day about the work of the Ukrainian negotiation team in France. He said that Ukraine will hold a new round of negotiations with the US presidential envoy. This is already the third round of such talks in two days. The Ukrainian side expects that some of the most complex issues within the basic framework for ending the conflict will be discussed at that time, in particular the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant issue and the territorial issue. Zelensky said that the negotiation team has been instructed to discuss possible forms of meetings at the leadership level, including meetings between Ukraine, other European countries, and the United States. Zelensky stressed that Ukraine will not shy away from the most complicated issues, nor will it be an obstacle to achieving peace. Peace must be dignified, and this depends on partners, that is, whether they can ensure that Russia is truly ready to end the war.
