The second conversation between Ukraine and US and partner advisors on the ceasefire ended: Coordinated positions
Ukraine's second online conversation with national security advisors from the United States and partner countries took place, with the parties focusing on harmonizing positions to achieve peace. About this reported head of the Office of the president Andriy Yermak, who represented Kyiv on the call.
"We focused on coordinating our positions to bring sustainable and just peace to Ukraine as soon as possible. We are ready to work as productively as possible to save lives and end hostilities," he wrote.
The official thanked the partners "for their support and constructiveness" and noted that the parties agreed to continue cooperation in the near future.
According to him, the call was attended by national security advisors from the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, and NATO representatives.
Yermak did not give any other details.
Work in this format began after a meeting between the U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and a dictator Vladimir Putin on August 6, in Moscow and further conversation with the participation of the presidents Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump and European partners.
- The advisors' previous call on ending the war took place on August 7. Zelenskyy noted that it was "quite a long conversation, very detailed," and said that officials agreed to continue working the next day: "We still have a lot of work to do". Sources from Axios and Suspilne reported that Witkoff was also on the call.
- There is no official position of national security advisor in Ukraine, but these functions are usually performed by Yermak, head of the OP.
- On the evening of August 8, Zelenskyy said that the occupiers are not currently paying attention to the ceasefire deadline.
