President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi stated, that in case of risky aspects in the mineral deal, he will definitely inform the public about it.
“It seems to me that Ukrainians, in principle, know me very well. I think that there is no need to doubt. If there are any risky things for us, I will definitely communicate all this without any secrets to our society.”, – Zelensky emphasized during the briefing on March 28.
He noted that the key compromise points were already defined in the framework agreement.
“And that’s why we will base ourselves on clear things, what we talked about, where we see an opportunity to build the right partnership relations”, – added the head of state.
Commenting on statements about Ukraine’s alleged debts to the United States, Zelensky noted that, given the past, he does not see such obligations.
“If any prospects, new support, new support packages are meant, then the USA can set certain conditions, understanding that this team will not do anything for us for free. This is what they are officially saying.”, the president explained.
According to him, the main “red lines” were outlined in the framework agreement, which the Ukrainian side was ready to sign.
“If the question of debts is raised there, we will not accept debts, as I said. These are completely understandable things for me, I do not see them. If it means new support, new support packages, then the USA can probably set certain conditions, understanding that this team will not do anything for us for free.” Volodymyr Zelenskyi emphasized.
