According to him, three topics were discussed at this meeting.

"First: diplomacy. I am in contact almost daily with representatives of the President of the United States and European partners. We reviewed the current status of air defense deliveries and our agreements in general. We set priorities for the next few weeks: anti-ballistics, bilateral agreements on the production and supply of drones—specifically the Drone Deal with the European Union—and preparations for meetings in various formats. We are preparing for important negotiations—no public details at this time,” the Ukrainian President said.

Second, he said, is the issue of prisoner exchanges with russia.

"We must continue the humanitarian track, those exchanges that have already been agreed upon. I have instructed officials to contact partners who can now facilitate the necessary mediation," Zelenskyy noted.
