Zelenskyy presses Europe for binding security guarantees
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stepped up his push for firm security guarantees from Europe and the United States as any future peace with Russia is discussed.
Speaking in The Hague after talks with Dutch caretaker Prime Minister Dick Schoof, Zelenskyy said Ukraine needed “legally binding commitments” to protect the country if a ceasefire is reached.
He said many questions remain about how Ukraine can be safeguarded without NATO membership.
“There are many questions about how we can receive protection without being a member of NATO,” Zelenskyy said, adding that comprehensive security guarantees were essential.
Zelenskyy pointed to talks in Berlin on Monday, where participating countries pledged concrete contributions to Ukraine’s security.
He declined to name which countries would take part in a planned multinational security force, saying details were contained in a document that would only be published after a ceasefire is in place
