During a meeting with Michal, Zelensky said that Ukraine is invited to take part in the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) summit, because Ukraine wants to have a permanent status as a member of the association.
"We also addressed these signals to British Prime Minister Cyrus Starmer. As long as we do not have a permanent current status, we, as invited guests, will treat as in previous years. Last year I applied online, and therefore we will definitely have this opportunity. What is very important to discuss with our friends is the training and assistance in recruiting Ukrainian brigades. We received positive feedback from the French side, now we will talk to France about completing a new brigade, we received positive feedback from the German side, although I will be frank that the Americans are preparing our brigade on German soil, that is, this is their contribution, but this is not enough," Zelensky said.
The president also noted that Ukraine appealed to the Nordic countries regarding their participation in the training of Ukrainian brigades.
"These brigades are important for us, we are not going to surrender to Putin and the Russians, so this support is important for us," Zelensky added.
Recall
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky saidthat the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria explains why Ukraine needs unwavering support from partners , because there is a combat-ready Russian army on Ukrainian soil, and if Ukraine falls, then Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will return to Syria, Africa, and many other regions that interest him.
