President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that he “is not afraid to discuss with Russia the issue of the neutral status of Ukraine.”
In a video message posted on Friday night on his Telegram channel, the Ukrainian leader stressed: “We are not afraid of Russia, we are not afraid to talk with Russia, we are not afraid to talk about everything, about security guarantees for our state, we are not afraid to talk about a neutral status.”
“We are not in NATO now, but what guarantees will we have? And most importantly, which specific countries will give them to us?” he added, emphasizing that currentlyUkraine is left alone in the defense of its state, and the West only talks about its support.”
The neutral and non-aligned status of Ukraine and NATO’s refusal to accept it as part of the alliance was one of the demands of the Russian Federation on the issue of security guarantees.
