A US security agreement for Ukraine is \u201c100% ready\u201d to be signed, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said after two days of talks<\/a> involving representatives from Ukraine, the US and Russia \u2013 indicating some progress was made. Further discussions are expected next weekend<\/a>. Speaking to journalists in Vilnius during a visit to Lithuania on Sunday, Zelenskyy said Ukraine is waiting for its partners to set a time and place for the signing of the security guarantees document, after which it would go to the US Congress and Ukrainian parliament for ratification. \u201cFor us, security guarantees are first and foremost guarantees of security from the United States. The document is 100% ready, and we are waiting for our partners to confirm the date and place when we will sign it,\u201d Zelensky said.<\/p>\n

Ukraine sought more air defence support from allies on Sunday as hundreds of buildings in Kyiv were without heating in freezing temperatures for a second day after Russian strikes<\/a>. More than 1,300 apartment buildings Kyiv were still without heating, mayor Vitalii Klitschko said on Sunday. Sub-zero temperatures and repeated airstrikes have slowed efforts by repair crews working to restore heating and electricity.<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy has also emphasised Ukraine\u2019s push for European Union membership by 2027, calling it an \u201ceconomic security guarantee.\u201d He described the talks in the UAE capital of Abu Dhabi as likely the first trilateral format in \u201cquite a long while\u201d that included not only diplomats but military representatives from all three sides. Zelenskyy acknowledged fundamental differences between Ukrainian and Russian positions, reaffirming territorial issues as a major sticking point.<\/p>\n

Polish president Karol Nawrocki called for unity among countries under threat from an \u201cimperial Russia\u201d, at a Vilnius event commemorating the 1863 uprising in Poland and Lithuania against Tsarist Russia, which Zelenskyy also took part in. \u201cThe message of these celebrations is that by looking to the past for what we have in common, it\u2019s easier today to face the problems ahead of us. Especially in an era of the revival of imperial Russia,\u201d Nawrocki\u2019s office said on X. \u201cWhether it\u2019s tsarist Russia, Bolshevik Russia, or Vladimir Putin\u2019s Russia, our countries [Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine], now independent, still face the same problem: the threat posed by the Russian Federation,\u201d Nawrocki said in his speech. Zelensky, in his speech, said Europe should cherish its independence and remain alert. \u201cIt is too early for Europe to relax while Russia\u2019s war machine is still running, and while dictators around Europe are not weakening,\u201d he said. \u201cThey all look at Europe \u2013 at us \u2013 as prey.\u201d<\/p>\n

European nations committed to a new clean energy pact, the Hamburg Declaration, aimed at boosting the region\u2019s energy security. The deal<\/a>, to be signed at a summit in the German port city on Monday, will bring an \u201cunprecedented fleet\u201d of offshore wind projects to the North Sea that will supply multiple nations, the UK Department for Energy Security said. It comes three years after North Sea countries pledged to build 300GW of offshore wind in that sea by 2050, in the wake of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine and the \u201cweaponisation\u201d of European energy supplies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A US security agreement for Ukraine is \u201c100% ready\u201d to be signed, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":433485,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-433484","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=433484"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433484\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/433485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=433484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=433484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=433484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
