President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that the issue of territories was discussed during talks with the American delegation in Saudi Arabia, despite the fact that it was not on the agenda of the meeting.

The head of state said this at a meeting with journalists on 14 March, according to a correspondent of «Suspilne».

«The American side goes into details and substance. For example, the city of Enerhodar... You can't just say: here's the plant (ZNPP, — note), and the city is separate. I believe that the issue of territories is the most difficult after the issue of establishing a ceasefire», Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

At the same time, the President stressed that all partners know Ukraine's position - never to recognise the occupied territories as Russian.

As a reminder, yesterday the Ukrainian delegation met with US representatives in Saudi Arabia. After the meeting, the head of the Presidential Office, Andrii Yermak, said that Ukraine had expressed its readiness to accept the US proposal for a temporary ceasefire for 30 days.

For his part, Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukraine accepts the US proposal for a temporary ceasefire for 30 days, now «if Russians agree, the silence will work».

Earlier, during a speech to Congress, US President Donald Trump said he had received a letter from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. According to Donald Trump, the letter states that Ukraine «is ready to sit down at the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring a sustainable peace», as well as to sign an agreement on minerals.

It should also be recalled that the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is ready to sign a minerals agreement between Ukraine and the United States at any time and in any convenient format.
