Zelenskiy says security guarantee complete

A U.S. document on security guarantees for Ukraine is completely ready and Kyiv is waiting for a time and place for it to be signed, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday, indicating that weekend talks with Russia in Abu Dhabi made some progress.



"For us, security guarantees are first and foremost guarantees of security from the United States. The document is 100% ready, and we are waiting for our partners to confirm the date and place when we will sign it," Zelenskiy told a news conference during a visit ⁠to Vilnius, the Lithuanian capital. "The document will then be sent for ratification to the U.S. Congress and the Ukrainian parliament," he added.



On Friday and Saturday, Ukrainian and Russian negotiators held their first trilateral meeting including U.S. mediators in Abu Dhabi to discuss Washington's framework for ending the almost four-year-old war, but no deal emerged.



However, ⁠Moscow and Kyiv both said they were open to further dialogue and more discussions were expected next Sunday in Abu Dhabi.
