Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “The Kremlin considers Coca-Cola an enemy and that the strike on an American company is a signal.”

We discussed this at a high level with the German side. They are well aware that Ukraine did not stand behind the execution or the very conception of this operation,

Our proposals are ready. It is important to work in a coordinated, substantive, and realistic manner.

The Russian side acknowledges that its Black Sea Fleet ships are also effectively blocked in Novorossiysk thanks to our drone strikes and are unable to operate at sea.

As we did during previous diplomatic visits by U.S. officials, we will ensure the normal functioning of Russian airspace so that the negotiators can arrive safely. It’s them we care about, not Russia. We will not carry out any airstrikes.
