Key points from Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s meeting with journalists
▫ The agreement with the United States on mineral resources does not include $500 billion, $350 billion, or $150 billion in Ukrainian debt. That would be unfair.
▫ The next agreement with the United States on the Reconstruction Investment Fund will be more complex and will necessarily require ratification by the Ukrainian Parliament.
▫ The agreement with the United States could be part of future security guarantees. It is important that the agreement includes a reference to this.
▫ The agreement could be highly successful, but its success will depend on negotiations with President Donald Trump.
▫ We are working on the issue of a peacekeeping contingent in Ukraine. The number of countries involved and its composition will depend on the position of the United States.
▫ It is crucial not to lose the United States as Ukraine’s primary security guarantor.
