Investing.com -- Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced on Tuesday that his country is prepared to engage in discussions with Russia in any setting, provided a ceasefire is established and hostilities between Kyiv and Moscow’s forces cease.

Zelenskiy informed the media during a briefing that a Ukrainian delegation, scheduled to meet officials from Western nations in London on Wednesday, is authorized to negotiate a full or partial ceasefire. The briefing took place in the presidential office in Kyiv.

The president stated, "We are ready to record that after a ceasefire, we are ready to sit down in any format so that there are no dead ends."

However, Zelenskiy cautioned that reaching agreement on all matters would not be swift. He pointed out that there are numerous intricate issues to be addressed, including territorial claims, security guarantees, and Ukraine’s potential membership in the NATO military alliance.
