Ukraine's Zelenskiy says he discussed pressure on Russia with US envoy Kellogg
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday he and U.S. envoy Keith Kellogg had held a good meeting and discussed exerting pressure on Russia to hold "real talks" on ending more than three years of war.
"A good meeting with the special U.S. presidential envoy Keith Kellogg," Zelenskiy wrote on the Telegram messaging app.
"We discussed how to exert influence on Russia, oblige them to hold real talks on ending the war ... We are ready to talk in a format with leaders. This is needed to resolve key issues."
Zelenskiy said Ukraine valued the "readiness of the United States to be part of Ukraine's security architecture" and viewed security cooperation as important, particularly in regards to weapons purchases and development and sale of drones.
