Earlier, President Zelenskyy announced the start of a meeting in Berlin with representatives of the United States and Germany to discuss peace in Ukraine. The photos he published confirm the participation of the Ukrainian delegation, special envoy of the US President Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the talks.

Later, Ukrainian presidential adviser Dmytro Lytvyn said that the talks on 14 December lasted more than five hours and were scheduled to continue on Monday morning.

As a reminder, US President Donald Trump said that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is allegedly the only one who does not approve of Washington's plan to end the war, while his team, according to Trump, supports the document.
