Zelensky told a press conference that Ukrainian and US officials will soon hold discussions on security guarantees and the recovery package for Ukraine, noting that the agreements could be signed during the World Economic Forum in Davos next week.

He emphasized that currently, Ukraine requires a steady supply of missiles for its air defense systems to protect itself.

Until Friday, several air defense systems in the country had been without missiles, but Ukraine received a new missile package in the morning of the same day, said Zelensky.
