When we speak about security guarantees for Ukraine, there are several key elements. First, the Ukrainian army. We already agreed on what we need in the sky, at sea, and on the ground. Our partners now understand the scale of these needs, but the important thing is that we are on the same page, and they are ready to deliver.
Second, the strength and size of the Ukrainian army itself. We know exactly what it has to be, and this requires significant funding. This is why financial support from our partners is crucial.
Third, Article 5–like guarantees. We are discussing this with the U.S., and I believe we will reach bilateral decisions. And finally, sanctions in case Russia decides to repeat aggression again, as well as reconstruction, including the use of frozen Russian assets.
To give an example: the cost of this war today is about 120 billion per year. Ukraine covers half from its own budget. The other half – 60 billion – must be secured. Plan A is to end the war. Plan B is to secure the cost.(Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський)
