Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed his intention to speed up efforts to sign new security agreements with more countries as soon as possible.

In a video message released on Monday, Zelenskyy said that no matter what happens in the world, Ukraine needs its own tools to support its people and state, as well as its own security agreements that will work under any conditions.

He noted that his team is preparing four new security agreements for Ukraine and will begin negotiations very soon.

Zelenskyy added that Ukraine will have almost thirty such agreements with its partners.

He made the remarks apparently taking into consideration the possibility that US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump wins the election in November.

Ukrainian media report that Kyiv had already signed 17 security agreements including those with Britain and Japan, by mid-June.
