Met with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew — Zelenskyy
Congratulated him on the 35-th anniversary of his enthronement, which will be in a few days — 2 November.
Talked about our work with partners to achieve peace, in particular about contacts with the American side. Of course, I informed him about the situation in Ukraine, about the ongoing Russian strikes on our energy infrastructure, on everything that ensures people’s normal lives.
We spoke about the humanitarian operation in our temporarily occupied Oleshky area, from which people were able to be rescued. This is a very important result, and we hope the world will pressure Russia so that such de-escalation steps are expanded.
I thank His All-Holiness for his consistent public stance, support for our state, and constant prayers for peace in Ukraine.
