Earlier, following his meeting with US President Donald Trump, Zelenskyy said documents for a deal to end the war in Ukraine are “nearly, nearly ready.”
Some of the documents seek security guarantees, while others cover economic plans for the future of Ukraine.
On his nearly an hour-long meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy said it was “productive and substantive”.
Zelenskyy said in a post on X that he and Trump spoke about air defense for Ukraine. Zelenskyy also wrote that he thanked the US President for the previous package of air defense missiles, while asking for an additional one.
“Our previous meeting with President Trump helped strengthen the protection of our skies, and I hope that this time we will reinforce it further as well,” he said.Story continues below this ad
During his speech, the Ukrainian President criticized European leaders for failing to act on the continent’s security.
“Just last year, here in Davos, I ended my speech with the words: Europe needs to know how to defend itself. A year has passed. And nothing has changed. We are still in a situation where I must say the same words again,” he said.
