Milan, 5 September (LaPresse) – ‘I had a very in-depth conversation with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. It is important to speed up security guarantees for Ukraine, to be as productive as possible together with America and to strengthen our air defence.’ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote this on X. ‘We continue to coordinate for real diplomacy. Putin pretends he doesn't need peace, doesn't need negotiations, but in reality, global pressure can influence Russia's interest in ending the war. I thank everyone who is helping,’ Zelensky added.
