Ukraine is ready for trilateral talks with the US and Russia in Azerbaijan, provided that Russia is prepared for diplomacy.

This was stated today, 25 April, by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a media briefing following his meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, according to NikVesti.

The President said that this was his first visit to the country since the war began. He was last in Azerbaijan in 2019.

The President of Ukraine noted that during his visit to Azerbaijan, six cooperation agreements were signed, including security-related ones. Volodymyr Zelenskyy added that Ukraine is ready for trilateral talks in Azerbaijan.

«It is very important that we also discussed peace efforts. It is very important for Ukraine that Russia finds the strength to end this unjust war. We certainly highly value the role of our partners in mediating this process. We told the President of Azerbaijan that we are ready for trilateral talks. We held such talks in Turkey. We held such talks with our American partners in Switzerland. We are certainly ready for the upcoming talks in Azerbaijan, provided Russia is ready for diplomacy,» said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

As a reminder, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had earlier arrived in Saudi Arabia, where he met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud.
