Russia 'sending negative signals' on talks, Zelenskyy says

Volodymyr Zelenskyy says it's time for a leaders' discussion on the priorities and timelines of security guarantees for Ukraine.

Following a call with Finland President Alexander Stubb, Zelenskyy said teams were "actively preparing the architecture of strong and multilateral security guarantees".

This, he said, included Europeans, Americans and other partners in the "coalition of the willing".

But while those talks look to be accelerating, Zelenskyy accused Russia of "sending negative signals regarding meetings and the further development of events".

"Strikes on our cities and villages continue. New victims every day," he said.

"Pressure is needed. We count on it. Steps are needed specifically from Russia – steps toward real diplomacy."
