He (Zelenskyy — ed.) is prepared to engage with President Putin to address these issues, with territorial discussions marking the current frontline of negotiations.
The diplomat also highlighted that the nation’s leader is guided by both Ukrainian law and public sentiment when addressing territorial integrity.

As for ongoing peace talks, Kyslytsia believes the process is gradually gaining momentum.
