Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said today that his country intends to "implement" the White House agreement regarding a ceasefire in the Black Sea between Kiev and Moscow, describing it as "good measures".
"We will work on implementing the agreements from the Ukraine-US meeting. We will be constructive," Zelensky said at a press conference.
The Ukrainian president opposed the "easing" of international sanctions against Russia, after Washington expressed its readiness to facilitate Moscow's access to Russian agricultural products and fertilizers to the world market.
"We consider this to be a weakening of sanctions," Zelensky said, adding that the issue was not on the Ukrainian delegation's agenda, stating that it was raised by the American side at a meeting in Riyadh.
The Ukrainian president said that Kiev and Washington had agreed to involve "third countries" in monitoring a possible ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia.
"It's not a bad thing, for example, someone in Europe, or for example Turkey, who could be involved in the situation at sea, and maybe someone from the Middle East regarding energy issues," Zelensky said.
The Ukrainian president said about the announced summit tomorrow in Paris that countries should be determined that would be ready to send a military contingent to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire with Russia.
"Our task is to understand who is ready to provide security guarantees," Zelensky said ahead of a meeting in Paris organized by French President Emmanuel Macron.
