“I received a report from our delegation on their meeting with the American team in Saudi Arabia. The discussion lasted most of the day and was good and constructive—our teams were able to discuss many important details. The American side understands our arguments and considers our proposals. I am grateful to President Trump for the constructive conversation between our teams”, Zelenskyy posted on X.
