Ukraine is approaching an important security agreement with the United States. This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with Brazilian journalists, according to a UNN correspondent .

We have already signed nine (security) agreements. We are approaching an important treaty with the United States, and after we pass the Congress...I believe that we will still push through and pass it positively. Then we will move on to this powerful agreement with the United States

- Zelensky said.

He noted that each of the bilateral agreements includes support for Ukraine.

This is not just about military support. It's about humanitarian aspects, reconstruction, financial support, energy support

- Zelensky added.

Zelenskyy believes that in May Ukraine will have a strong result on security guarantees.

We are approaching the point where our partners from the Baltic countries will do so. I think we can have this result with one of the countries in April. I think we can have a strong result on security guarantees in May. We have several treaties. I think in May-June we will come to agreements not only with the United States, but we will come to agreements with the Nordic countries, and there is strong support there. We are preparing for the Swedes and Norway
