“From America there were Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Generals Keen and Grynkevich and Josh Gruenbaum. Thanks also to Mark Rutte, who represented NATO,” Zelensky said.
He emphasized that security guarantees are one of the most important things for all further steps.
“We already had a negative experience with the Budapest memorandum. Everyone remembers this, as well as the fact that Russia repeatedly violated all its other obligations. Therefore, it is now important that this document regarding security guarantees contains concrete answers to what worries Ukrainians the most: what will be the actions of partners if Russia decides to come with its aggression again,” the head of state said.
According to Zelenskyi, it was agreed that the teams will actively work in order to have a concrete understanding regarding security guarantees in the near future.
