“For now, because of the situation with Iran, the necessary signals for a trilateral meeting haven’t come yet,” Zelenskiy said in his regular address to the nation late Wednesday. “As soon as the security situation and the broader political context allow us to resume the trilateral diplomatic work, it will be done.”
