Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in his evening address on Tuesday, revealed that Ukraine is diligently preparing the European segment of its security proposals. These proposals were initially accepted during negotiations that took place in the Middle East and Gulf nations. Zelensky emphasized that the upcoming weeks will be dedicated to collaborating with European partners to strengthen security cooperation.
The head of the Ukrainian state noted that the primary focus areas for this work will include joint production initiatives, defense modernization, defense funding programs, and coordination in security actions. 'The next weeks will be specifically dedicated to such work with our partners in Europe,' he stressed, highlighting the importance of collaboration in this domain.
Zelensky also reported that Ukrainian military personnel are actively participating in consultations concerning the operations in the Strait of Hormuz and ensuring safe maritime navigation. 'Safe maritime navigation is a global value; we know this from our experience in protecting the Black Sea. It is essential that everyone in the world values this as well,' the president remarked, underscoring the significance of this issue for the international community.
He further pointed out that the global situation can change daily, and these changes can be substantial, especially considering the events unfolding in Iran and the relations between Europe and America. 'However, our interests are long-term – those of everyone in Europe, primarily concerning security interests,' Zelensky added, emphasizing the importance of stability and security in the region.
Additionally, the president announced that Ukrainian diplomats have received a relevant request from Asian countries. He instructed them to promptly address this request, including contacts at the leadership level, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and other ministries. According to Zelensky, this should provide Ukraine with real opportunities for protection.
Thus, Ukraine continues to actively work on strengthening its security positions in cooperation with international partners, which is particularly crucial in the current context of global politics and security.
