Quote: “They may speak rhetorically about one scenario or another. But our situation is definitely different from one in Korea. There, the war ended without a final peace treaty. That is what they meant. And this relates to the discussion about security guarantees – why Ukraine needs them. It may happen that there will be no final document to end the war.”

Details: Zelenskyy said that he agreed, for example, with French President Macron who said that security guarantees should not wait until the end of the war. The Ukrainian president added that a ceasefire would be enough to ensure security guarantees.

He stressed that Ukraine cannot waste time waiting for a clear agreement to end the war and needs security guarantees sooner.

Zelenskyy added that “no one is considering a Korean, Finnish or any other model.”

“Because what we have is what we have, and no one knows what will happen in the end,” he concluded.
