Quote: "Today, those who are demonstrating that they are ready - we have no signatories yet, but there is a demonstration - are [Boris] Johnson, Britain, the United States, Italy, and Turkey. I think it will be separate from the European Union.
I have been speaking separately with Ursula (President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen - "Evropeyska Pravda"), separately with Charles Michel (President of the European Council Charles Michel - "Evropeyska Pravda"), France, and Germany.
The first round of the conversation will include five countries (Britain, the USA, Germany, France and Poland). Then other countries will join.
So far I have not received confirmation from others. But there are difficult questions about what we want and what they are prepared to give us."
Zelenskyy believes that Ukraine will not have a problem with weapons or sanctions against the aggressor country, but there will be questions about the military component.
