Details: Zelenskyy briefed Zourabichvili on Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy system.
The presidents discussed bilateral cooperation and security challenges and stressed that European integration is their countries' only option.

"I am confident that the day will come when Ukraine and Georgia will be in the European Union – together and forever," Zelenskyy said.
Salome Zourabichvili, who represents Georgia at the Peace Summit, often takes a stance opposite to that of her country's ruling Georgian Dream party.
Background:
- The Georgian authorities have repeatedly accused the Ukrainian government and Western countries of calling for the opening of a "second front" on Georgian territory and have frequently criticised the Ukrainian leadership since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion.
- Recently, Ukraine's Foreign Ministry condemned another unfriendly statement by Georgia's Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, who called Ukraine a "failed state" and found no one responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians.
- In addition, Kobakhidze claimed that the opponents of the Georgian government want the "Ukrainisation of Georgia".
