Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that important international events focused on defense and security will take place in the coming days.

Zelensky said this in his nightly video address, Ukrinform reports.

"There will be significant international events this week – on defense and security. In Europe, our position will be sufficiently represented, and the same applies to the United States. In practice, our negotiating team is working every single day on the documents and proposals that could deliver results at the upcoming meetings. Most importantly, our partners must be aligned the same way we are in Ukraine: peace is needed, and reliable security guarantees are the only real foundation for peace and for preventing the Russians from breaking agreements through strikes or hybrid operation of some kind," he said.

He also stressed that there are no countries left in Europe that do not know what Russian interference is and what Russian destabilization operations can look like. According to him, everyone sees the consequences of Russian missile and drone attacks, and therefore defense and security must become the foundation for sustainable peace.
