Ceasefire without guarantees dangerous for Ukraine - Zelensky

Ukrinform
Ukraine is ready to sign a "minerals agreement", which would mark a first step toward security guarantees, but a ceasefire without security guarantees is dangerous for Ukraine.

This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelensky via X on Saturday, March 1, Ukrinform reports.

“We are ready to sign the minerals agreement, and it will be the first step toward security guarantees. But it’s not enough, and we need more than just that. A ceasefire without security guarantees is dangerous for Ukraine. We’ve been fighting for 3 years, and Ukrainian people need to know that America is on our side,” Zelensky wrote.
