The case of "Carthage", "Kimprom" and the negotiations with the Russian Federation - Zelensky spoke to journalists. The main thing he said:
The issue of Ukraine joining NATO has once again returned to the agenda of the negotiations regarding the end of the war and security guarantees. According to him, European partners emphasize that Ukraine's membership can strengthen NATO.
Ukraine will receive a support package from Denmark for 645 million euros. It will include 20 mm ammunition for F-16 fighter jets, which are needed to shoot down Shahad planes, about 200 million euros for the production of drones and money for joint production.
Supplying Ukraine with F-16s is discussed. "We need two and a half times more planes in the sky at the same time than the number we use. On paper, all this exists, but they are constantly being renovated, because the F-16 is not young."
Referring to the talks in Abu Dhabi, Zelensky noted that the main issues are the energy ceasefire, the opening of the blockade of the Black Sea, the release of prisoners and the preparation of a meeting of leaders to actually end the war. "Regarding some of the issues, the Russians said they did not have a mandate."
On Starshield's restrictions: "If you restrict there, then you don't recognize the temporarily occupied territories like ours. I believe we have the right to raise this issue and restore the speed so that there are no restrictions. This gives the Russians opportunities to attack."
Referring to the Russian Federation's proposal to conduct a humanitarian mission based on Olshki's analogy, Zelensky said that this is "Putin's primitive move, because otherwise he cannot get Kostiantynivka." According to him, Putin wants the armed forces of Ukraine to withdraw from Kostiantynivka, and Russian forces to enter the city and occupy it.
Klimenko, Wievski and Focald have nothing to do with the "Carthage" case, Zelensky said. According to him, he knows about it from law enforcement officers and anti-corruption activists. The president announced other personnel changes.
As for "Chimprom", their activity should be completely stopped, Zelensky said. In his opinion it needs international support.
