What is known?
Zelenskyy spoke with National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov. The head of state is awaiting a report with all details, including those that cannot be discussed over the phone.
"There were different formats of meetings, with the American team and with the European team. The security guarantees agreement with America, we believe, is ready to be signed at the highest level," he said.
Pressure on Russia
The president said that in a trilateral format they also discussed documents on Ukraine’s recovery and its economic development. It is "almost ready." Representatives of Ukraine, Europe, and the United States also worked "very substantively" on the main political document — Kyiv has shown "full constructive engagement."
"The American team must receive an answer from Russia on what they are ready for there and whether they can truly end the war. We believe that only pressure will resolve this — pressure on Russia, and only if it is sufficient," Zelenskyy added.
