Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said today that it was “very dangerous” to discuss a ceasefire in the war with Russia without an agreement on the security guarantees that Kiev should receive.
“A cease-fire without security guarantees … is preparation for continued occupation,” he told a press conference at the European Political Community meeting held in Budapest.
Referring to Donald Trump’s campaign pledge to end the war in Ukraine, Zelensky said he did not know the details of the plan and had not discussed it with the US president-elect. He stressed that he believes that Trump would like to end the war between Russia and Ukraine as soon as possible, but that this does not necessarily mean that it will happen.
Volodymyr Zelensky also claimed that North Korean troops deployed in Russia’s Kursk region suffered casualties in combat with Ukrainian forces. He warned that if the West did not take action, North Korea would reinforce Russia with more troops.
