Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged national unity and international cooperation in his nightly address on Wednesday, stressing the importance of strong ties with both the United States and Europe.

His remarks follow U.S.-Russian talks in Saudi Arabia this week on a potential settlement to the war, to which Ukraine was not invited. He noted that he would meet with the U.S. envoy for Russia and Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, on Thursday, calling it a crucial discussion.
"It is crucial for us that this meeting—and overall cooperation with America—be constructive," Zelenskyy stated. "Together with America and Europe, peace can be more secure, and this is our goal."
Zelenskyy also took aim at Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that unity among Ukraine and its allies was the "strongest safeguard" for a future "without Putin, but with peace."
