President Volodymyr Zelensky has for the first time acknowledged that security guarantees for Russia are necessary as part of the settlement of the Ukraine conflict.
Globalinfo.az reports that this was stated by the Financial Times.
“Zelensky said that Western countries will ultimately discuss Moscow’s demands regarding security guarantees,” the report said.
However, according to the Ukrainian leader, military operations must first be halted and Kyiv’s security must be fully ensured.
The newspaper notes that these statements were made just a few hours after Zelensky’s phone call with Finnish President Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Store.
That call, in turn, took place following discussions the leaders of Finland and Norway held with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
