“I spoke with Prime Minister of Norway Jonas Gahr Støre. We exchanged assessments of the meetings in Washington and discussed our joint work with all partners on strong security guarantees for Ukraine. Jonas noted that this is truly a historic achievement – Europe has never been so united around Ukraine,” he wrote.
Zelensky stated that the discussion centered on bilateral relations with Norway, a country with which Ukraine engages in extensive cooperation.
“We especially value our cooperation in the energy sector. Jonas and I agreed to meet in the near future,” he said.
Zelensky expressed confidence that peace can be reliable and lasting, and security guarantees are the key to this. He stressed that Ukrainians have defended independence, Ukraine has united many nations, and by ensuring strong security guarantees, it will certainly ensure the future for Ukrainian people.
“We are now actively working at all levels on the specifics, on what the architecture of the guarantees will look like, with all members of the Coalition of the Willing, and very concretely with the United States. This is one of the major results of Washington talks. I am grateful to everyone who is helping,” the president added.
As reported by Ukrinform, Zelensky stated that Ukraine is already working on specific security guarantees following talks in Washington with the US President and European leaders.
