President Yoon Suk-yeol held a phone call on the afternoon of the 14th at the request of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during which they exchanged views on Korea-Ukraine cooperation and joint efforts to establish peace within Ukraine, the Blue House announced.

He also stated, "We will continue to provide the support and cooperation that the Ukrainian people need."

President Zelensky invited President Yoon to the "Ukraine Peace Summit" scheduled to be held in mid-next month in Wurgenstock, Switzerland, and requested that Korea continue to actively contribute to the international community's efforts to establish peace in Ukraine.

The two leaders agreed to maintain close communication and cooperation for the swift end of the war, restoration of peace, and the freedom, peace, and prosperity of Ukraine, the Blue House said.
