Recalling the meeting to be held today in Washington, the capital of the US, Zelenskyy said in his post, "Right now, the Russians are attacking Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, the Sumy region, and Odesa, destroying residential buildings and our civilian infrastructure."

"EVERYONE WANTS A DIGNIFIED PEACE AND SECURITY"

Noting that leaders from the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, the European Union (EU), and NATO, as well as Ukraine, will attend the meeting, Zelenskyy stated that everyone wants a 'dignified peace' and 'security.' Stating that Russia 'deliberately' targets civilians, Zelenskyy offered his condolences to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives.
