Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the media on Saturday that he hopes for significant positive influence from Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on talks with Russia.

Zelenskyy said that "Israel could give security guarantees to Ukraine."

He said Western countries are not "involved enough" in peace negotiations, and he does not see a common consensus to accept Ukraine into NATO. 

The president reiterated that Ukraine needs anti-missile systems and is ready to pay for them.
