President Zelenskyy: We will work as constructively as possible

“Today, the President of Cyprus paid his first visit to Kyiv. And next year, starting in January, Cyprus will hold the Presidency of the European Union,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a traditional address to the Ukrainian nation on Dec. 4.

I wish you health!

Today, Ukrainian representatives will continue their discussions in the United States with President Trump’s team. Our task now is to obtain full information about what was said in Russia and what other pretexts Putin has come up with to drag out the war and to pressure Ukraine – to pressure us, our independence. Ukraine is prepared for any possible developments, and of course we will work as constructively as possible with all our partners to ensure that peace is achieved – and that it is, after all, a dignified peace. Only a dignified peace provides real security, and we fully understand that this requires – and will continue to require – the support of our partners.

Today, I spoke with President of the European Council António Costa – I am grateful for his willingness to continue helping Ukraine. We exchanged assessments regarding diplomatic prospects and contacts with partners. António informed me about his conversations with leaders, and I shared the information our intelligence has obtained. We agreed to remain in constant contact.
