– I confirm that [prezydent Ukrainy Wołodymyr Zełenski] it actually seeks to end hostilities as quickly as possible, preferably before winter. As the head of the President's Office, I will certainly do everything to achieve the goal set by the leader of Ukraine. In my opinion, it is completely correct, timely and realistic, said Budanov during the Architecture Security Forum conference in Kiev.
He also noted that “there are now real signs that there are grounds for ending hostilities.” Budanov said that Ukraine expects a visit of an American delegation to Kiev in the near future. — The American side confirmed that it plans to arrive in Kiev and Moscow soon, he said.
He also denied reports that the negotiation process was at an impasse. — Some activities are ongoing, but (…) they are, let's say, not entirely public, he said.
The Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine informed that an exchange of prisoners of war may take place in the near future. He added that work is underway to release all prisoners, including civilians.
