The statement was made in Kiev after his visit to Washington for the NATO Summit last week. Zelensky said that signing 23 security agreements with NATO partners has already provided Ukraine 38 billion USD.

Ukraine's Razumkov Sociological Center announced the results of a recent survey indicating that nearly half of Ukraine's people support peace negotiations to end the conflict with Russia. 44% of respondents said they support negotiations with Russia, 35% oppose negotiations and 21.1% gave no opinion.

Balázs Orbán, Political Advisor to the Prime Minister of Hungary, said Monday that Prime Minister Viktor Orban's peace plan to resolve the conflict in Ukraine has been placed on the table.

According to Orban, Hungary will take full advantage of its EU Presidency to facilitate peace negotiations and propose political initiatives.
