"Right now, because of the situation around Iran, there are not yet the necessary signals for a trilateral meeting. But as soon as the security situation and the general political context allow to continue exactly that, trilateral, diplomatic work, it will be done. Ukraine is ready for this," Zelensky said in a statement

In addition, he thanked representatives of the intelligence service, the Office of the President and all the services involved for taking steps for further prisoner exchanges.

"We are working to bring all our people home from Russian captivity. We hope for good news," the president stressed.
