He said he began by thanking the president for his efforts to achieve a ceasefire.

"One of the first steps towards a complete end to the war could be an end to attacks on energy and other civilian infrastructure. I supported this step and Ukraine confirmed that we are ready to implement it," he said, Skynews writes. 

"The American side also proposed an unconditional ceasefire on the front line, and Ukraine also accepted this proposal," he added, saying that work continues to achieve this step.

"I also provided an update on the battlefield situation and the consequences of the Russian attacks.

"We talked about the situation in the Kursk region, touched upon the issue of the release of prisoners and the return of Ukrainian children who were taken by Russian forces.

Zelenskyy also said he asked about strengthening Ukraine's air defense.

"Ukrainian and American teams are set to meet in Saudi Arabia in the coming days to continue coordinating steps towards peace."
