Commenting on whether Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and former US President Donald Trump, or someone else who will be the president of the United States, can decide the fate of Ukraine behind Kyiv's back, National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov said it does not work that way. He said this in an interview with Natalia Moseychuk, a correspondent of UNN reports.

When asked if there would be no weapons, Danilov replied: "There will be and there will be for sure.
