The White House spokeswoman added that the US administration had spent a lot of time negotiating.
21.12 A meeting of the Coalition of the Willing was held, which discussed, in particular, the issues of security guarantees for Ukraine. During his speech, President Volodymyr Zelensky noted that work is underway to ensure that security guarantees include serious components of European deterrence and are reliable, and "it is important that the US is with us and supports us."
"An effective model of security guarantees is impossible - and we emphasized this - impossible without Europe and all members of our Coalition of the Willing: from Canada to Japan, to Australia and New Zealand - thank you all. Everyone's contribution is important," Zelenskyy said.
The President also called on allies to actively contribute to the PURL initiative and "move forward as quickly as possible on the issue of using frozen Russian assets."

19.47 President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the United States is seeking a joint management format for the Zaporizhzhia NPP, but it is currently difficult to determine what the consortium could be, because Ukraine's access to the station is possible only after the withdrawal of Russian troops.
"The Americans want a joint format for managing the station. Our position here is very simple. If the Americans can take the station under their control, somehow demilitarize this zone, that is, Russian troops must withdraw from the station to a certain distance, then there will be an opportunity for Ukraine to have access to the station. And then we need to look for a way to manage all this," Zelenskyy explained.
19.45 Ukraine has received and will process a draft security guarantees from the US, adding its proposals. This was announced by President Volodymyr Zelensky.

19.10 The peace plan that Ukraine is developing together with its partners provides for the withdrawal of the Russian army from the territories it occupies in Sumy, Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions.

What is an armored blanket?
An armored blanket looks like a dense tent and is a complete means of protection. It is designed to protect against shrapnel from shells, mines, or hand grenades, and consists of elements capable of detaining the weapon and dissipating its energy.
The basis is a soft ballistic bag made of multilayer elastic material, placed in a waterproof protective case.
The soft ballistic package of the item provides a fragmentation resistance class of F5 according to the Vproof confirmation criterion at 550 m/s with a 95% confidence level and a probability of error of 0.2.
The product retains its protective properties in humidity conditions from 40% to 70%, at temperatures from -40 °C to +70 °C for at least six hours. Each bulletproof blanket will be marked with a QR code with access to text instructions for use.
