Ukraine's Zelenskyy States US Security Guarantee Agreement is Ready for Signing

Kyiv. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that the security guarantee agreement to be received from the United States is 100 percent ready, with only the date and location of the signing remaining to be finalized.

Speaking at a press conference in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, on Sunday, he clarified that Kyiv is ready to send the agreement to the US Congress and the Ukrainian parliament for ratification. 

‘For us, security guarantees primarily mean security from the United States. The document is completely ready; now we are awaiting confirmation of the date and location of the signing from our partners,’ Zelenskyy said.

Emphasizing Ukraine's goal of achieving European Union (EU) membership by 2027, he interpreted this as a significant guarantee of economic security. According to Zelenskyy, European integration is extremely necessary for Ukraine's long-term stability and development.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian and Russian negotiators held talks in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, on Friday and Saturday. The discussions focused on the framework proposed by Washington regarding ending the Russian war in Ukraine, which has been ongoing for four years. 

Although no immediate agreement was reached, reports indicate that both sides are prepared for further dialogue. A US official stated that the next round of talks is expected to take place again in Abu Dhabi next Sunday.
