During the meeting, the two leaders discussed key areas of defense cooperation, including continued military assistance, joint arms production, and investment in Ukraine’s defense industry. Russia started its "special military operation" in Ukraine in February 2022 to "denazify" and "demilitarize" Ukraine. According to its memorandum for the settlement of the conflict, Moscow has demanded a ban on Kyiv joining military alliances and withdrawal of Ukraine's troops from Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson, the regions it annexed after a referendum in September 2022, among others. Ukraine has called the terms an "ultimatum" and has called for a ceasefire as a prerequisite for meaningful talks.
