Peace document may consist of two separate treaties - Zelensky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in an interview with a number of online media outlets, including Ukrinform.

"I believe that these can be two different documents – [a document on] security guarantees from countries that are ready to provide these security guarantees and a separate document with Russia," he said.

Zelensky noted that Russia would like to have one treaty that would include all these issues. However, according to him, not all countries that could be guarantors of Ukraine's security see themselves at the same table with Russia.

"For them, security guarantees for Ukraine are one issue, whereas agreements with Russia are another issue. Russia wants everything to be included in one document, but people say, 'Sorry, we saw what happened in Bucha.' Circumstances are changing, the formats of future agreements are changing, the percentage of possibilities of agreements from such steps, from those rapes is changing. Everyone sees this, and fewer of them want to have any agreements with Russia, and at the same time, they want to have agreements with Ukraine," Zelensky said.

He also added that the issue of Russia paying compensation to Ukraine for war damage must be legally resolved.

"This should be done. I don't know in what document it should be envisaged," Zelensky said.
