A key element of any agreement to end the war should be security guarantees, which should be signed before other documents. President Vladimir Zelensky stated this during a conversation with journalists..

According to the head of state, the signing of security guarantees will be a signal of trust in partners and will create the basis for further political decisions.

" This is a question not only of justice, but also of trust,” the country’s leader emphasized.

According to him, Russia is probably not interested in Ukraine concluding separate security agreements with the United States, but this will not affect Kyiv’s position.

“I don’t think that the “Russians” really want us to sign something with the United States. But we don't discuss it. It will be so. Regardless of who likes it, who doesn't. Ukraine will receive security guarantees. Without security guarantees there can be no end to the war,"

Earlier, Vladimir Zelensky admitted that the participants in the negotiations in Abu Dhabi failed to resolve the territorial issue and the issue of the Zaporozhye NPP.
