Zelenskyi began his answer by saying that “we have no other partners.”
“The strongest security guarantees we can get are from the USA. Of course, if they are not the “Budapest Memorandum”, not empty promises, but legally binding (legally binding – EP), voted in the US Congress. This is what we are talking about. They have a positive attitude towards such a movement so far,” said the president.
“And the European security guarantees are a ‘coalition of the determined’. In principle, they are already ready… Again, I would like to emphasize that the main thing is what the partners will be ready for in case of repeated Russian aggression. So far, I have not received an answer to this,” he said.
