"We discussed possible areas for partnership and agreed on further contacts. I also informed the president about our efforts toward peace, security, and the reconstruction of Ukraine after the war ends. We must continue to put pressure on Russia and counter all possible manifestations of Russian threats. We addressed this as well.
An important issue is also our shared path toward membership in the European Union. Further progress by Ukraine and Moldova must be simultaneous and closely coordinated," Zelenskyy wrote on X.
On 11 December, the EU announced the launch of a new format of technical negotiations with Ukraine that are not dependent on Hungary's veto.
