“First of all, we all want the war to end, and then martial law will end. And only in this way. But the end of martial law will come at the moment when security guarantees appear in Ukraine. Without security guarantees, this war will not truly end; we will not be able to recognize that it has ended, because there may be a risk of renewed aggression from such a neighbor”, - President Volodymyr Zelensky said during online communication with the media, Ukrainska Pravda reports.
Clarifying what specific security guarantees were meant, Zelensky said: monitoring by partners and their presence.
The head of state added that the timing of the “end of the war” would also be influenced by the understanding and position of the command of the Ukrainian army.
“They must say that all the country’s infrastructure is ready in order to lift martial law”, - Zelensky noted.
