First of all, the summit in Berlin is important. We are meeting with both Americans and Europeans. This format of the alliance is important to us. Believe me, we have done a lot to ensure that all these parties meet together, and today these meetings are in Berlin. Today and tomorrow

He also emphasized that a framework peace plan is being considered at the meetings in Berlin.
We are considering a 20-point framework plan, at the end of which there is a ceasefire. A ceasefire will certainly change the security situation on the ground
– the president noted.
In addition, Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine seeks not just a ceasefire, but guarantees that will prevent a repeat of Russian aggression.
"Today we are talking not about honesty, but about strength. And, unfortunately, this time requires respect exclusively for strength, not for values. Because, if we talk about honesty and values, about attention to international law, the Russians should have been condemned. And from the very beginning, more than 10 years ago, the invasion of the sovereign land of Ukraine. This did not happen, it was only in words," – emphasized Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
And, he added: "Today we want no repetition of the war after a ceasefire. And therefore, a legally binding guarantee – not the Budapest Memorandum, but legally binding guarantees. In the case of the United States of America, we are conducting such consultations," – the president emphasized.
Zelenskyy emphasized that it is fundamentally important for Ukraine that future security guarantees have the support of the US Congress.
