Details: Zelenskyy noted that this would mark Burns' last visit to Ukraine as CIA director.

"Usually, such meetings are not made public. All our meetings, whether in Ukraine, other European countries, the United States, or other parts of the world, were held without official announcements. However, after his final visit, it is worth speaking openly," he tweeted.

The Ukrainian president also extended his best wishes to Burns and his family, expressing hope that they would meet again. 

Background:

• William Burns, as director of the CIA, was involved in non-public connections between Joe Biden's administration and the Ukrainian side, as well as negotiations with the Russian side, particularly on the possible use of nuclear weapons and the exchange of hostages.
• This year, Burns also made a trip to the Balkans to oppose Russia's hybrid influence.
