Zelenskiy stresses urgency in finalizing Ukraine's security guarantees amid Russian drone threats, with NATO advisers' support.
KYIV (Reuters) - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Friday that many details on security guarantees for Ukraine were already on paper, adding that foreign troops on the ground would signal political support for Kyiv.
U.S. special envoy Keith Kellogg and national security advisers from Britain, Germany, France, and Italy are in Kyiv, Ukrainian officials said.
Zelenskiy, writing later of his meetings with the advisers on the Telegram messaging app, called for work on completing the security guarantees to be accelerated, given the incursion of Russian drones into Poland this week.
"Russia not only shows no desire to end the war, but is engaging in escalation, with real threats to Europe by launching its drones into Poland," he wrote.
"We therefore have to complete as quickly as possible work on elaborating the security guarantees."
Participants in the meetings, Zelenskiy said, discussed their experience in developing the common defence of the NATO alliance, and Ukraine was proposing "jointly intercepting all Russian targets."
