According to the Ukrainian leader, Putin will never be able to break Europe and split it.

It's no secret that the Kremlin has tried to do this many times, but has never succeeded.

"We discussed with Antoniou our joint work for the further European integration of Ukraine: Ukraine will be a full-fledged part of the European Union. We are preparing for the opening of clusters and further decisions," Zelenskyy said.

In addition, the focus was on new diplomatic solutions and an agreement with Russia to exchange prisoners in a 1,000-for-1,000 format.
