Zelenskyy wants military contingents of major powers in Ukraine

>It is important that among the countries sending their military contingent to Ukraine there are "major powers," President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said before a meeting with German Vice Chancellor and Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil, Ukrinform reported.

>"I think there will be different levels of involvement (of countries in security guarantees for Ukraine – ed.), but it is not for me to decide and speak about 'boots on the ground.' I think it is important that they come from major countries, leading participants of the Coalition of the Willing. That matters. 'Boots on the ground’' is an important factor," Zelenskyy said.

>The president emphasized that the main security guarantee is a strong Ukrainian army.

>"We do not want to reduce the number of soldiers, because it is very dangerous," the head of state noted.

>Zelenskyy stressed that for this, increased funding of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is necessary, as well as of the entire Ukrainian military sector – primarily domestic drone production.
