The schedule already includes nearly two dozen meetings with leaders from around the world – both long-standing supporters of Ukraine and new partners, Zelensky confirmed. He added that his administration has also planned a meeting with the President of the United States.

“There will be an important event on the return of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia – a truly global summit on this issue. It is vital that this week strengthens the world’s resolve for robust action – because without strength, peace will not prevail,” he said.
