Basic security guarantees document for Ukraine is ready - Zelenskyy

The Ukrainian President said that during the week, talks were held with leaders of European states and with the foreign ministers of the UK, Denmark, and Poland.

"I had a productive meeting with Keith Kellogg. I also met with security advisors from Germany, the UK, France, and Italy.… And it is important that partners visit not only Kyiv but also our other cities and other communities,” Zelenskyy noted.

According to the Ukrainian President, the basic document on security guarantees for Ukraine, and therefore for all of Europe, is already essentially prepared.

"Details are being carefully finalized, and everything will be agreed upon with all our partners. So now, we need to pressure Russia toward ending hostilities, toward a meeting format that will be effective, toward a reliable ceasefire, so that Russia stops killings and strikes. And this is achievable," Zelenskyy said.

Ukrainian leader also stressed that this is only possible if everyone acts together.

“Everyone in Europe, as the war is closest here, but also together with America. For Putin, it is the United States that represents a real argument - along with other global actors. We also must not forget about Russian assets: everything already identified, which are substantial funds, must be used to defend and restore Ukraine. This is legitimate,” Zelenskyy concluded.

Security guarantees for Ukraine

In recent days, US Special Envoy Keith Kellogg met in Kyiv with Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Rustem Umerov.

They discussed security guarantees and the PURL initiative.

At the same time, Russian propaganda is spreading fakes about a “fear of occupation” and “anti-fascist underground” in order to sow distrust among Ukrainians toward Western partners and to disrupt international agreements.
