Zelenskyy stressed that Ukraine is ready for consultations to resolve the situation and noted the importance of continuing the trade liberalisation regime with the EU.

The two sides also exchanged views on Ukraine's progress towards future EU membership, and Zelenskyy reported that Ukraine has completed the four legislative steps necessary to prepare the European Commission's assessment in March 2024.

"Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Charles Michel agreed on the need to quickly approve the relevant negotiation framework necessary for the actual start of negotiations, as agreed upon last December," the Office of the President said.
