The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, said that during the conversation with his Latvian counterpart, he informed him about recent diplomatic contacts and visions for further steps. The main topic was the need for joint actions to ensure stability on the continent.
“I informed him about our contacts with partners and the situation in diplomacy, and shared our vision of the important steps to take next. Ukraine and all other European countries need a reliable peace and a guaranteed future. It is important that we share the same understanding: this can be achieved through U.S. support and European unity. We agreed to coordinate our efforts,” Zelensky noted.
Separately, the parties discussed Ukraine’s European integration path.
