"We are starting a new diplomatic week right now -- there will be consultations with European leaders. First and foremost, security issues, support for our resilience, and support packages for our defense,"
"We've been speaking to [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin and we've been speaking to Ukrainian leaders, including Zelenskyy, President Zelenskyy, and I have to say that I'm a little bit disappointed that President Zelenskyy hasn't yet read the proposal, that was as of a few hours ago,"
"The American envoys are aware of Ukraine's core positions, and the conversation was constructive though not easy,"
"I expect detailed information from them on everything that was said to the American envoys in Moscow, and on the nuances the Americans are prepared to modify in negotiations with us and with the Russians,"
Zelenskyy will meet key European allies in London on December 8 to focus on security, resilience, and defense support. He announced consultations in a nightly address recorded on a train on December 7. Meetings are scheduled with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. US President Donald Trump said he was a little bit disappointed that Zelenskyy had not yet read the latest peace proposal. Three days of talks near Miami between Ukrainian and US officials ended on a positive tone but produced no breakthrough. Ukrainian leaders say American envoys know core positions and that conversations were constructive though not easy, with expectations for detailed information on what was discussed and possible negotiation nuances.
