Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday he and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte discussed the importance of security guarantees for Kyiv in any discussion of a settlement of the nearly three-year-old war against Russia, APA reports citing Reuters.
Writing on X, Zelenskyy said he and Rutte examined contacts with Ukraine's partners and "coordinated our next steps".
"We cannot allow Putin to deceive everyone again," Zelenskyy wrote. "Before any potential negotiations, all partners must clearly understand that strong security guarantees are the priority for lasting peace."
