Verbatim:
"Representatives of our delegations speak in video format every day. Our delegation has a clear task - to do everything to ensure a meeting of the presidents. A meeting that I am certain people are waiting for."
"It clearly is a difficult story. The hard way. However, it is a necessary way too. Our goal is that in this struggle, in this difficult negotiating work, Ukraine gets the necessary result. The one that is necessary for us, for peace and for security."
"We need to have normal and effective guarantees. They should be different from those we got in Budapest and those concerning our sky. We need such guarantees that Ukrainians can say: this is what works, this is the guarantee. The talks are necessary. "
