KYIV (Reuters) -Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday that Ukraine will try to "reactivate" the diplomatic process to end his country's war with Russia.
"It's important, as this is going on, to feel constant support behind one’s back," Zelenskiy said at a press conference in Madrid alongside Spain's Prime Minister.
Later on, he said he planned to discuss with Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday how to bring a "just peace" to Ukraine.
Turkey was the venue for talks between Ukrainian and Russian representatives in spring 2022 as well as earlier this year, but those failed to bring about an end to the fighting.
"I think that (meeting with Erdogan) will be enough for a substantive discussion," he said.
"We have some positions and signals from the U.S., we'll see tomorrow," Zelenskiy added without giving details.
