The security agreement signed in January with the United Kingdom is a “basic benchmark” to be followed in working with other countries. Ukraine is also holding talks with other partners, the head of state said.
“Despite various challenges and many difficulties, Ukraine has managed to maintain international attention to our battle for independence,” said Zelenskyy.
“We managed to become even more resilient, which is the main argument in international communication. That is what we are capable of… And negotiations on new security agreements are ongoing, and not only with states in Europe on bilateral documents to implement the Group of Seven Security Declaration. I am sure that soon there will be new results on security guarantees for Ukraine.”
