āOur team is working in a fully constructive manner, and the discussion is quite useful. The work of delegations continues. But no matter what weāre discussing with our partners right now, Putin must be pushed to issue a real order to stop the strikes ā because the one who brought this war must be the one to take it back,ā Zelenskyy said.
