According to Zelenskyy, the world has responded positively to the trilateral meeting in Washington, and Ukraine hopes that the agreements will work.
The head of state also informed Aliyev about contacts with international partners and discussed principles that could bring an end to the war closer. ‘It is important that the joint efforts of the world force Russia to stop hostilities and aggression,’ he stressed.
The presidents also touched on the topic of energy cooperation. Zelenskyy noted that significant results have already been achieved, but the parties plan to continue expanding opportunities.
