The next trilateral meeting could take place in early March in Abu Dhabi, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday, the Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported.

Speaking after a meeting between Ukraine's negotiating team and envoys of U.S. President Donald Trump, Zelensky said there is growing readiness for another trilateral meeting and that preparations are underway for a possible leaders-level format.

"There is now greater readiness for the next trilateral format. Most likely, the next meeting will take place in the Emirates, specifically in Abu Dhabi. We expect the format to take place in early March," Zelensky said.

He added that Ukraine and its partners believe the conflict should be brought to an end.
