Zelensky spoke about "return of territories" and "Nord Stream 2"

According to him, Ukraine should receive security guarantees.

The Ukrainian leader stressed that this is quite fair. 

“And the most important thing in security guarantees is the return of our territories.

If there is a step to support such a decision on the part of Russia, first of all, and on the part of European countries that are interested in Nord Stream 2, and we simultaneously have, in addition to geopolitical, energy guarantees, a security guarantee, then yes - I understand ”, - Zelensky said in an interview with AFP, Reuters and Associated Press.

Earlier, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba said that the gas pipeline could be launched only under the condition of "de-occupation" of Ukrainian territories and ensuring energy security.

He believes that this would be "just satisfaction."

Igor Yushkov, an expert at the Financial University under the Russian government, a leading analyst at the National Energy Security Fund, in an interview with RT, called the statement by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba about the launch of Nord Stream 2 an attempt to create information noise.
