Meeting between the presidents of Ukraine and Russia necessary to end the war. This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during conversations with journalists based on the results of the meetings of the"Coalition of the Willing".

"It's not about desire, it's necessary. We support it in any format - both trilateral and bilateral. I believe that Russia is doing everything to postpone it. Our American partners told us that Putin invited me to Moscow. If you want the meeting not to happen, you need to invite me to Moscow. Therefore, I think that Russia has started talking about a meeting - that's not bad. But so far we don't see their desire to end the war. And a meeting, adult leaders from a meeting of this level should come out with a result. Preferably, with the end of the war," Zelensky said.

He also spoke about the results of the agreements reached during the meeting of the"Coalition of the Willing." In particular, the president noted that the partners agreed on the presence of their contingent on the territory of Ukraine within the framework of security guarantees.

"There is a multi-element infrastructure. First of all, it is presence. We agreed that there will be presence. I am not ready to say in quantity yet. Although, to be honest, we are already sharing among ourselves. We understand the approximate number of those who have already agreed. And the presence is different - it is both in the sky, at sea, and on land," Zelensky added.
