He further claimed that "everyone" in Europe is "united on the main issue" which is peace. And for that, he said, Ukraine needs security guarantees. "And this is the position of all of Europe – the entire continent. The United Kingdom, the European Union, Türkiye," Zelensky claimed. 

He then moved to expressing gratitude towards the United States (US) for all the support it gave to Ukraine.
