“I believe that serious partners will not do this, and this will be the right decision. They understand that this weakens the Ukrainian side. And it is not only that Ukraine needs support now. Ukraine will need support after the war is over. This is where security lies. This is not a game where Putin alone sets the rules. And I am sure that assistance will continue to flow,” Zelensky noted.

“We are in constant contact. I am confident that there will be no betrayal on the part of our partners, and assistance will continue,” Zelensky said.
