Kiev [Ukraine], January 27: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that an agreement on US security guarantees for his country is "100 percent ready" to be signed after talks with Russia in Abu Dhabi.
Speaking at a news conference in Vilnius, Lithuania, on Sunday, Zelensky said that Kiev was ready to send the agreement to the US Congress and Ukrainian parliament for ratification.
"For us, security guarantees are first and foremost guarantees of security from the United States. The document is 100 percent ready, and we are waiting for our partners to confirm the date and place when we will sign it," Zelensky said.
The Ukrainian leader also emphasised Ukraine's push for European Union membership by 2027, calling it an "economic security guarantee". Ukrainian and Russian negotiators met in the capital of the United Arab Emirates on Friday and Saturday to discuss Washington's framework for ending Moscow's almost four-year-old war. (Agencies)
