The leaders exchanged information on various aspects of Russia’s position and assessments of current diplomatic prospects. The President of Ukraine noted that this week will involve a lot of work with partners in Europe, and it is important that everyone shares the same view of the situation.

Oksana Markarova will consult the President on matters related to improving the business climate, strengthening the state’s financial resilience, attracting investment, and planning Ukraine’s reconstruction in collaboration with its strategic partners.

As part of the package coordinated with the United States, Ukraine has introduced sanctions against 26 Russian legal entities connected to the energy sector. The second decree introduces sanctions against 36 individuals and 13 legal entities involved in the production, training, and operation of Russian drones.

The Ukrainian delegation should already be in the United States by this evening, U.S. time. The dialogue based on the Geneva points will continue.

Internal strength is the foundation of our external unity and of our relations with the world. And for that internal strength to exist, there must be no reasons to get distracted by anything other than defending Ukraine.

First Lady Olena Zelenska, together with her Foundation’s team, Ambassador of Austria to Ukraine Robert Müller, and Head of Building and Property Management Department of the Lower Austrian Government Christoph Reiter, visited one of the lyceums in Kaharlyk, Kyiv region.

Already this week – at the end of the week – our team, together with American representatives, will continue to translate the points we secured in Geneva into a form that puts us on the path to peace and security guarantees. There will be a meeting of delegations. The Ukrainian delegation will be well-prepared and focused on substantive work.
