The Ukrainian President has discussed key issues with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres including the release of Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs), Russia's nuclear blackmail, and the grain initiative.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this on Telegram.

"We agreed on the continuation of coordination in the implementation of the grain initiative. We discussed possible directions of its development, the issue of illegal and forced deportation of Ukrainians, as well as the release from captivity of our servicemen and doctors", he said.

According to the head of state, special attention was paid to the topic of Russia's nuclear blackmail at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.
