Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Friday that Ukraine and its allies should work together to back all constructive steps by the United States aimed at reaching a ceasefire.

“There have been many calls in recent days, many contacts at various levels,” Zelenskyy said on the Telegram app after speaking with the Czech prime minister. “All are united by the understanding that the war must be brought to an end and that Europe must develop a common position on every important security aspect.”

Zelenskyy’s comments came ahead of a planned meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin “in the coming days”, as a US deadline approaches for Russia to agree to a ceasefire in its war on Ukraine or face economic penalties.

On Thursday, Putin had named the United Arab Emirates as one of the possible venues for a meeting with Trump, calling it a “suitable” location for high-level talks.
