JAKARTA - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday he and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary General Mark Rutte discussed the importance of security guarantees for Kyiv in every discussion on the settlement of the war with Russia that broke out in 2022.
In writing on social media X President Zelensky said he and Secretary General Rutte checked contacts with Ukrainian partners and "coordinated the next steps".
"We must not allow Putin to deceive everyone again," President Zelensky wrote.
"Before any potential negotiations, all partners must clearly understand that strong security guarantees are a priority for lasting peace," he continued.
