He said that he had a conversation with members of the Ukrainian delegation – Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Rustem Umerov, head of the OP Kirill Budanov and head of the Servant of the People faction David Arakhamia.
“They are actively working with the American side, working with European representatives regarding possible meetings and support packages,” Zelensky informed. “Missiles for air defense are needed every day. Weapons are needed every day. Equipment for recovery for the reserve is required every day. If the Davos format provides this, real results for Ukraine – Ukraine will be represented there.”
As the president pointed out, “no one needs empty politics” and “conversation without results.”
“We need to deal with the situation in the country. Every official, local authorities, all heads of state companies, energy companies – everyone should be here, in Ukraine, working in cities, in villages, in those territories where they need to be restored and protected,” Zelensky said.
