""Let this be private": Zelenskyy said what response he expects from the US regarding security guarantees for Ukraine

Post-war security guarantees must be reliable and strong, and Ukraine expects to receive them from both the United States and European countries. These promises must be enshrined in documents to ensure they are legally binding.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke about these future agreements during a press conference in Brussels, Belgium, on December 18. A video of the event was published on the Presidential Administration's YouTube channel.

The president was asked several questions related to ensuring the country's security after a potential peace agreement.

Zelenskyy emphasized that without strong security guarantees, there will be no end to the war, only a pause.   

"When you don't have NATO, but security guarantees 'like NATO,' some say that maybe that's even better. I don't know, I'm not qualified to judge. I can only judge one thing: the answer to the question of what the United States of America will do if Russia comes back with aggression. What will these security guarantees do? How will it work? How will all the partners act? How, with what force, will they stop Moscow, specifically?" the president outlined the main questions. 

"I think we need an answer to this. It might not be public, but it should be enshrined in some documents," the head of state added."
