Zelensky thanks U.S. experts and think-tank leaders after extensive dialogue

In a Telegram post, President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked a long list of U.S. experts and think-tank leaders for a recent conversation, describing it as very useful. He emphasized that despite a tight agenda, the participants—ranging from former diplomats to defense analysts—demonstrated sincere interest in Ukraine's current situation, ongoing negotiations and the path toward a just peace. Zelensky said the dialogue underscored the value of coordinated action to safeguard people’s lives and liberty.

He also praised the questions, engagement and willingness of the U.S. side to help Ukraine find a viable route to end the war and ensure security. The meeting follows a prior gathering in New York where Zelensky met more than 30 leading American companies and members of an Economic Advisory Group, resulting in announced investments in defense technology and energy projects.
