The stances presented by the Ukrainian and Russian delegation at the bilateral talks "have become more realistic," but it still takes time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.

"We all want peace. As soon as possible. We all want to win. And there is always a feeling that a little more and we will get what belongs to us, but efforts and patience are still needed. Still need to fight. And work for everyone in their place. Including representatives of our delegation in negotiations with the Russian Federation," Zelensky said in a video message at night on Wednesday.

The president said that it is important.

"This is difficult, but important, because any war ends with an agreement. The meetings are continuing and, as I have been told, the stances presented at the negotiations have become more realistic. It will take time to reconcile decisions with the interests of Ukraine," he said.
