A: Hey! Did you hear anything about Ukraine and the US?

B: No! What’s up?

A: Apparently, President Zelenskyy says they’re making progress on a security deal with the US!

B: Wow, really? What’s it about?

A: It’s supposed to guarantee Ukraine's safety after a ceasefire with Russia. They talked about it with a US envoy in Florida.

B: That's good news! Are they close to an agreement?

A: Zelenskyy thinks so! They also worked out a plan to rebuild Ukraine’s economy.

B: That's a lot! But… I saw something about Russia rejecting a proposal?

A: Yeah, a Russian official said the US proposal wasn’t very helpful.

B: Oh, that’s a bit disappointing. Are they worried about anything else?

A: Zelenskyy is worried Russia might attack soon. They’s not planning a Christmas ceasefire, apparently.

B: That’s scary! Is Ukraine prepared?

A: They’re saying they need more air defense.

B: Fingers crossed for a peaceful resolution then!
