Peace agreements must contain mechanism of guarantees for Ukraine – Zelensky

The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a joint briefing with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson in Kyiv, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Peace agreements must contain a mechanism of effective guarantees for our country. We have talked about this in detail today. We expect that London will play a key role in this process. The achievement of peace in Ukraine will be our common future victory,” Zelensky stressed.

In his words, during negotiations with Johnson, they also discussed the main areas on which their efforts should be focused to achieve peace, determined the key objectives and coordinated further work.

“We are consolidating the maximum support for our state in strengthening the defense capability of our troops, assisting our citizens, both in Ukraine and abroad, and rebuilding our country,” the President of Ukraine added.

A reminder that UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated earlier that the United Kingdom would increase sanctions and economic pressure on Russia, as well as step up economic and military support for Ukraine, considering that Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing for a new offensive in eastern Ukraine.
