KYIV – Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said he had a “constructive call” with his US counterpart Marco Rubio on March 7 to discuss an upcoming bilateral meeting
“Ukraine wants the war to end, and US leadership is essential for achieving lasting peace. We also discussed ways to advance our bilateral cooperation,” Mr Sybiha said on X.
US President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Mr Steve Witkoff, said on March 6 he was in discussions with Ukraine for a peace agreement framework to end the three-year war with Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said intensive contacts were taking place with US officials all day.
“Today, the most intensive work has been going on all day with President Trump’s team at different levels – many calls,” Mr Zelensky said in his nightly video address.
“The topic is clear – peace as quickly as possible, the most reliable security possible. Ukraine is committed to being as constructive as possible.” REUTERS
