Zelenskyy said they also discussed "some developments following the meetings in Abu Dhabi, which were held at the end of last month and the beginning of this month.

"Not everything can be shared over the phone, and our negotiating team will present Ukraine’s position next week," the Ukrainian president added.

After the Abu Dhabi talks, Zelenskyy told reporters that the U.S. had set a June deadline for Moscow and Kyiv to strike a peace agreement.

"The Americans are proposing the parties end the war by the beginning of this summer and will probably put pressure on the parties precisely according to this schedule," Zelenskyy said at the time, according to the Associated Press.
