Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he hopes that Ukraine will get security guarantees from the US that are similar to those enjoyed by Israel, APA reports citing CNN.
In an interview with Ukrainian media, Zelensky said that security guarantees include both a shield and a sword.
Such guarantees would come through the process of Ukraine’s accession to NATO, he said, but would be reinforced through a bilateral agreement with the United States.
“We will probably have a similar model with the United States, like the Israeli model, where we have weapons, technology, training, finances, etc. Something like Israel has, but we have a different enemy,” Zelensky said.
Such an agreement would not depend on who was in the White House, Zelensky said, since it would be approved by Congress.
