Kiev, 1 October 2024 (dpa/MIA) - The situation on the front line in Ukraine is "very challenging," President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his nightly video address.

Ukraine's forces must to do everything they can in the coming months, Zelensky said.

"The most important thing is to put pressure on Russia using all available means and tools to achieve our goal of a real and just peace for Ukraine and all our people as soon as possible," he said.

"Everything that can be done this fall, everything we can achieve, we must achieve. And it depends on everyone in the Ukrainian team."

Zelensky said Ukraine was busy preparing for US President Joe Biden's high-level meeting of some 50 countries at the US military's Ramstein Air Base in south-western Germany.

Those at the meeting will "receive all the details and arguments from our side on how to ensure results in the coming months both at the front and in diplomatic work," Zelensky said.

Biden will be in Germany later in October and has invited Ukraine's supporters to attend a meeting in the country during that time.

Such meetings have frequently taken place in Ramstein since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but so far only at the level of defence ministers. The aim is to coordinate military assistance to Ukraine.
