Quote from Zelenskyy: “We discussed various vectors of cooperation – how to achieve real peace and guarantee Ukraine’s security. These include projects within the PURL initiative for financing production and procurement of Patriot systems, strong bilateral agreements on co-production of drones and weapons that we have proposed to America. We count on a positive response from the United States.”

Details: Zelenskyy and Kellogg also had a detailed discussion on stepping up pressure on Russia and what can be done jointly with Ukraine’s partners in terms of tariff and sanctions policy to enable a leader-level meeting to take place as soon as possible and bring the war to an end. Zelenskyy noted that the trilateral leaders’ format is undoubtedly the most effective.

Quote:“We also discussed the return of abducted Ukrainian children, international cooperation on this track, and the conditions in which our children are being held.

We are also preparing for the 80th session of the UN General Assembly in New York. We discussed planned events, coordination between Ukraine and the US, and work within the Coalition of the Willing. We are working on potential meetings and various formats.” 

Background:

  • Keith Kellogg arrived in the Ukrainian capital on Thursday 11 September, but it is not yet known how long his visit to Ukraine will last.
