Zelensky evaluated the meeting held between U.S. and Ukrainian delegations in Saudi Arabia in a video message he shared.
Describing the meeting in question as positive, Zelensky stated that many important details were discussed during the talks.
Recalling that the U.S. proposed a 30-day ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war, Zelensky said, "Ukraine accepts this proposal; we view it positively.
