In Rome, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President of Switzerland Karin Keller‑Sutter.
The Ukrainian leader expressed his gratitude for the support of Ukraine and its peace efforts.
“We are also grateful for the humanitarian support provided by your Government, especially for what matters most to us: shelters for our schools, for our children. Thank you for this assistance,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy added.
During the meeting, the leaders spoke about securing a ceasefire, sustaining support for Ukraine, the need to increase pressure on Russia, humanitarian demining, implementing school meals programs, and food security measures.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy provided an update on the negotiations in Istanbul. The President of Ukraine emphasized the importance of coordinating efforts with the United States, maintaining unity, and jointly pressuring Russia to achieve at least the first step toward ending the war – a full and unconditional ceasefire.
Special focus was placed on continued assistance to Ukraine, including funding Swiss companies’ participation in the country’s reconstruction.
