Details: Zelenskyy was asked when to expect news on a bilateral security agreement with the US to follow up on the G7 declaration on security guarantees for Ukraine.

"Our teams are working; we have held two rounds of negotiations. I strongly believe that we will have a robust document... But we agreed that we should concentrate on what is necessary right now. That is why we are focusing on working with the US Congress, and then we will move on to security guarantees", Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
