Volodymyr Zelenskyy offered U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to buy American weapons with $300 billion of frozen russian assets.

 

"I said that this is one of the security guarantees: take $300 billion of frozen russian assets, we will take them, take the money needed for our domestic production, and we will buy all weapons from the United States. We don't need any gifts from the US. This will be good for your industry, for the United States. We will invest money there - russian money, not Ukrainian money, not European money - russian money. They have to pay for it. Is this one of the security guarantees? Yes, of course. Because this is a military guarantee,” Zelenskyy said.

 

The President also emphasized that more sanctions should be imposed against russian energy carriers and the shadow fleet. At the same time, he emphasized NATO as a guarantee of security for Ukraine.
