“The next 7-10 days it will be formalized,” the President said.
Describing the Ukrainian vision, Zelensky divided it into two components-financial and material and security obligations.
“As part of security guarantees, additional finances are needed. I am going to find all this money, and this should be an understanding of our European partners that we need a source of financing for this,” he stressed.
The financial component also includes cash infusions that Ukraine will need for a long time to maintain safety at the required level, but you can discuss what kind of component the partners will finance. “For example, if we finance (at the expense of taxes collected) wages (defense fighters – ed.), Then we will need a strong financing of defense production,” he explained.
The second element of the financial component of the security guarantee that Ukraine asks is a package of American weapons that Ukraine does not produce. “It includes planes, air defense systems, etc. There is indeed a package with our offers for $ 90 billion,” Zelensky said.
“The third part is our production of drones, and we have an agreement with the United States that when we have exports, they will buy Ukrainian drones,” the President added.
In addition, Ukraine has transferred their partners to their vision of security obligations – “How will security guarantees work, what forces will work in defense of Ukraine in the event of repetition of aggression.” Volodymyr Zelenskyy has avoided detailed comments on this.
Recall: FT’s edition on Monday first reported about the “peace plan” of Zelenskywhich he introduced in Washinton. Earlier Donald Trump also commented potential security guarantees from US for Ukraine.
