Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky named his key priority at the meeting with Minister of Foreign and European Affairs of the Slovak Republic Miroslav Lajcak.
Zelensky stressed that a ceasefire and return of peace to the Donbass is his key priority, because Ukraine is losing its fighters and civilians every day.
"For me, this is the main goal - to stop the war, stop the fire, bring our hostages home," Interfax cited the Ukrainian leader as saying.
"We cannot wait long, since we are talking about the lives of our people, so today we have already tried to restart the negotiations within the Trilateral Contact Group (TCG). One meeting has already been held, Ukraine’s representative in the TCG has been appointed, second President Leonid Kuchma and other professional people for work in TCG subgroups," Zelensky concluded.
