The Ukrainian head of state answered journalists' questions during the Munich Security Conference, in which he is participating. — We met today [amerykańskimi] senators and we said that we really want longer security guarantees to make them more acceptable to investors, Zelensky said.
What is the length of the security guarantee that Ukraine wants?
Who is the new negotiator from the Russian side?
When is the next round of peace negotiations planned?
Why does Zelensky see the changes in the Russian team as a bad signal?
“They want to postpone making a decision”
— Today we have a proposal from the American side for 15 years, and we want 20 years plus 30 years. We will see what the administration and Congress will agree on, he emphasized.
In Munich, Zelensky was asked about the next round of peace negotiations, expected on February 17-18 in Geneva. He said that Russia's change of chief negotiator, Vladimir Medinsky, an adviser to Russian leader Vladimir Putin, is a bad signal.
— The surprise is that the Russians have changed the leader of their negotiating group. I think they just want to postpone the decision. But it's possible that I'm pessimistic about it, said the Ukrainian president.
