Ukraine working closely with USA on security guarantees documents – Zelenskyy
Ukraine is now working very specifically with the United States on documents on security guarantees and is preparing its proposals to strengthen the document, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
"If Russia is ready to stop strikes on our energy sector, we will be ready to respond in kind. And this is the proposal we have conveyed to the Russian side through the Americans. We are also now working very specifically on the documents with the American side. As agreed, Ukraine is preparing its proposals, its strengthening of the document on security guarantees," Zelenskyy said in his evening address on Monday.
He added that security guarantees are the key to a real end to the war, to lasting peace and, in general, to creating the political and legal framework needed to end the war and give people confidence in the process.
"It is important that our partners hear us on this and that we continue to move forward productively in the negotiations. There is now a lot of distrust in diplomacy, not only here regarding Russia's war against Ukraine, but the outcome and whether there is any outcome at all depends on all participants in the diplomatic process," the president said.
He said Ukraine is in contact with the U.S. side virtually every day at various levels to ensure there is a result.
