Zelensky says who will join Ukrainian group for peace talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has approved the composition of a negotiating group from our country to interact with international partners to achieve a just peace. This is stated in his order published on the website of the presidential office.

In particular, the negotiating group includes:

• head of the Presidential Office Andriy Yermak;
• ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga;
• ukrainian Defence Minister Rustem Umerov;
• deputy Head of the Presidential Office Pavlo Palisa.

Andriy Yermak has been appointed head of the Zelensky delegation. He is also authorised, in agreement with the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, to make changes to the composition of the Ukrainian delegation, as well as to involve employees of state bodies, enterprises, institutions and organisations in coordination with their heads, scientific advisers and experts.

We shall remind you that the Ukrainian delegation had the same composition when it met with the US representatives in Saudi Arabia on 11 March. The talks were held in Jeddah and lasted for eight hours. Following the results of the talks, the USA immediately resumed the supply of military aid to Ukraine and the exchange of intelligence data.
