Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud for his support and willingness to contribute to peace. The leaders agreed that the teams of Ukraine and Saudi Arabia will coordinate all necessary steps.

The leaders discussed in detail all important issues of bilateral cooperation and the overall diplomatic situation.

I greatly value the determination with which President Trump is committed to bringing an end to the killings in this war. Every day, many people are giving their lives. But the sole root cause of these killings is Putin's desire to wage war and manipulate everyone he comes into contact with.

The President of Ukraine informed his counterpart about contacts with partners. All are equally committed to a genuine end to the war and to effective diplomacy. Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ilham Aliyev discussed communication with the United States, European countries, and the key principles that can bring peace closer.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed that international law, the fundamental principles of the UN Charter, and common sense must prevail in the world – namely, respect for the borders and territorial integrity of states, as well as for the dignity of every nation.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ulf Kristersson agreed to continue coordinating with other partners to strengthen their positions.
