The Head of State thanked Franklin Graham for his support of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, for humanitarian aid, for the important guidance and prayers.
The President shared the success of the first step toward a just and lasting peace – the meeting between the delegations of Ukraine and the United States in Jeddah. Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that our state seeks peace more than anyone, which is why Ukraine accepts the U.S. proposal for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire. The Head of State described the release of military prisoners of war and civilians in captivity, as well as the return of deported children, as the next step, which will also help save lives.
According to the President, Russia is currently looking for various excuses to delay the process and avoid ending the war. However, pressure and unity from partners can change this.
Ukraine values Franklin Graham's voice and relies on his support.
