KYIV (Reuters) -Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy will hold more meetings with U.S. officials on Thursday at a conference dedicated to Ukraine's recovery, its foreign minister said.

"The main focus will be on sanctions policy and the adoption of the next package of U.S. sanctions in the near future," Andriy Sybiha posted on Telegram late on Wednesday.

The conference in Rome will focus on short and long-term reconstruction following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, now 40 months old.
