President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukrainian and US delegations concluded a second day of discussions in Florida on ending the four-year conflict with Russia.

Zelenskyy highlighted that while the US focus remains on Iran and regional tensions, resolving Russia’s war on Ukraine is critical. He also noted potential prisoner of war exchanges as a positive sign of diplomatic progress.

“It is clear that the US side’s attention at the moment is focused primarily ⁠on the situation surrounding Iran and the wider region, but Russia’s war against Ukraine must also be brought to an end,” Zelenskyy said in an evening address. “There are indications that further (prisoner of war) exchanges may take place, which would indeed be very good news and confirmation that diplomacy is working. We hope this will come to fruition”

“Russia’s shadow fleet must not ‌feel ⁠safe in European waters or anywhere else. Tankers that serve the war budget can and must be stopped and blocked, not just let go,” he added.
