Security guarantees for Ukraine: Ukrainian-American, Ukrainian-European, and Ukrainian.
First.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine – an army of 800,000 – which requires funding. To ensure the contracts we have already discussed it with the military at the Staff meeting. This funding requires additional partner support. We will provide a certain level of funding for our army, but additional funds are required.
Second – membership in the European Union. There are many dimensions to this. Everyone understands this first and foremost in terms of economic security guarantees and markets. There is also a military component, SAFE, and other programs that EU membership opens up.
The third component of security guarantees is the Coalition of the Willing. We will discuss what US backstop is and what specific details it may include – air defense, aviation, intelligence, and more. These are forces that must ensure Ukraine’s security in the air, on land, and at sea. The Coalition will include 30 countries. There will be key countries providing presence in specific domains, and there will be others providing security related to energy, finances, assistance, and shelters – countries that are neutral under their own sovereign constitutions.
Security guarantees with the United States of America. The key security guarantees that will be legally binding, voted on and supported by the U.S. Congress. This is precisely where the fundamental difference lies compared to the Budapest Memorandum, the Minsk agreements, or other arrangements. We are discussing the duration of these guarantees, their possible extension in the same format in which they are adopted. In addition, there is a deterrence package – what an 800,000-strong army will be equipped with. What Ukraine’s army will have.(Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський)
