WASHINGTON

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday that the "sensitive" elements of a potential peace agreement to end the Russia-Ukraine war will be taken up in a direct conversation with his US counterpart Donald Trump.

"Today our delegation returned from Geneva after negotiations with the American side and European partners. Now the list of necessary steps to end the war can become doable.

"As of now, after Geneva, there are fewer points – no longer 28 – and many of the right elements have been taken into account in this framework," Zelenskyy said in a video message on the US social media company X’s platform.

He said there is still work to do together to finalize the document.

"Our team has reported on the new draft of steps, and this is indeed the right approach -- I will discuss the sensitive issues with President Trump," he added.

'No missiles, no massive strikes on Ukraine'

Zelenskyy stressed that "constructive work" with partners is essential to Ukraine.

"We must be cognizant that Russia will not ease its pressure on Ukraine. In these days and weeks, it is essential to take air raid alerts and all similar strike threats very seriously. We clearly understand whom we are dealing with," he said in a separate post.

He said there is engagement in ending the war, warning "there must be no missiles, no massive strikes on Ukraine and our people."

"This can indeed be ensured by those who are really strong in the world. And much depends on America. Russia started this war, and it is Russia that must end it. We are creating the necessary conditions for that through dialogue with our partners," he added.
