Ukrainian President Zelensky said at an online conference at the Hudson Institute, an American think tank, on the 23rd that safety and security is a “core element” of the Ukrainian negotiations and “must be reliable.” According to a report by Ukraine's Interfax news agency, Zelensky said at the conference that currently about 9.5 million Ukrainian citizens are abroad, and “20% to 25%” of the Ukrainian population has been exiled overseas since the full outbreak of the conflict. “Millions of Ukrainians have lost their lives, homes, and jobs.” As a result, the Ukrainian side is looking forward to the safety and security of its partners. Zelensky said that the Ukrainian side is currently working on bilateral security guarantees between the US and Ukraine and Ukraine's entry into NATO. Security is “a top priority and must be reliable.” Each plan discussed by the Ukrainian side and various allies includes the above security guarantees. “This is a core element of our negotiations.” Zelensky said at the meeting that the three-party talks between Ukraine, the US and Russia are scheduled to be held in Abu Dhabi, UAE in the first half of November. “We are always ready to meet, even tomorrow, but everything depends on the Russian side”.
