Zelensky’s direct speech: “It’s good that we discussed security guarantees and that the United States is not against this topic. And the European side is almost ready, the security guarantees on paper are already ready as to what can be provided by the European side. We spoke from the point of view that we need security guarantees from the United States. Since only the United States can now talk to Russia, only President Trump has a dialogue with Russia, and this is very important We need strong security guarantees, because I fear, my country fears, that after the ceasefire we will still need security guarantees so that Putin does not return to us with new aggression.” What preceded: Also at the briefing, Zelenskyi said that the Ukrainian and American sides have decided not to talk publicly about long-range systems yet and added that the US does not want escalation. And that “the Russians are afraid of Tomahawks” as a “combination of weapons systems” that Ukraine can receive from the USA. We will remind: the European Union is increasingly convinced that the use of frozen assets of the aggressor state of the Russian Federation is the only real way to ensure stable financing of Ukraine, since other sources of financing are running out. Background: on October 17, a bilateral meeting was held in the White House in the format of an official lunch participation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Donald Trump. As reported, one of the key topics of the conversation between Trump and Zelensky will be the issue of the possible provision of long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.

Direct speech Zelenskyi: “It’s good that we discussed security guarantees and that the United States is not opposed to this topic. And the European side is almost ready, the security guarantees on paper are already ready for what can be provided by the European side.
We talked from the point of view that we need the security guarantees of the United States. Since only the United States can now talk to Russia, only President Trump has a dialogue with Russia, and that is very important.
We need strong security guarantees, because I fear, my country fears, that after the ceasefire we will still need security guarantees so that Putin does not return to us with new aggression.”

And that “the Russians are afraid of Tomahawks” as a “combination of weapons systems” that Ukraine can receive from the United States.
We will remind: The European Union is increasingly convinced that the use of frozen assets of the aggressor state of the Russian Federation is the only real way to ensure sustainable financing of Ukraine, as other sources of financing are running out.
