Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that on Saturday he would talk about chances for peace with the leaders of, among others, Ukraine and the European Union. According to the dpa agency, the conversation is to take place in the evening.
Prime Minister Tusk announced his participation in the talks on Saturday on platform “Today I will talk about chances for peace with the leaders of, among others, Ukraine, Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy and the EU,” he added.
According to the dpa agency, a telephone conversation between President Zelensky and European leaders will take place on Saturday evening. It is intended to concern work on ending the Russian-Ukrainian war, including primarily territorial issues and security guarantees for Ukraine.
The conversation precedes the meeting of the presidents of Ukraine and the United States scheduled for Sunday. It will take place in Palm Beach, Florida at 3 p.m. local time (9 p.m. in Poland).
Arrangements regarding control over territories remain controversial issues in the ongoing negotiations: Russia demands the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the previously unoccupied part of Donbas (mainly the Donetsk Oblast), while Kiev wants to freeze the front line in its current positions. The issue of control over the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, occupied by Russian forces, is also still being discussed.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that talks on ending the war had reached a “turning point”, although the version of the 20-point peace plan presented by Kiev differs from the one discussed by the US and Russian delegations.
On Saturday morning, there was a Russian attack on the capital of Ukraine. In the Telegram messenger, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Russia used nearly 500 drones and 40 missiles in the attack. “The main target is Kiev: energy and civil infrastructure. Unfortunately, residential buildings are also hit,” Zelensky said. (PAP)
