Zelensky said this in his video address, Ukrinform reports, citing his Telegram channel.
"We continue preparing documents with the U.S. regarding security guarantees and recovery. We are genuinely working to ensure that, in the near future, the formats for signing and approval – legal approval in the United States Congress and in the Ukrainian Parliament – can be in place. Today, Rustem Umerov delivered a report, in particular on these issues as well. It is essential that Ukraine-related issues remain at the top of the agenda in relations with the United States, despite all the information and political challenges that exist today," he said.
Zelensky noted that today he spoke with U.S. congressmen Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal.
"I am grateful for the unwavering bipartisan support of Congress. Right now, we are engaged in very productive work with the President of the United States and his team," he added.
For his part, the President briefed them on the situation with Russian strikes and on air defense needs.

And it is crucial that the U.S. Administration has as many instruments as possible for the right kind of pressure. We also discussed support programs that have not yet been fully implemented and can still be put to use. In particular, this specifically applies to protecting the skies," he said.
Zelensky also noted that Ukraine supports the position on Iran.
"A regime that has lasted so many years and killed so many people does not deserve to exist. Changes are needed," he emphasized.
Zelensky also noted that changes are needed in Europe as well, and that the bloodshed started by Russia and prolonged only by Russia must end.
As Ukrinform reported, President Volodymyr Zelensky instructed that a document on security guarantees for Ukraine from the United States be finalized and submitted for consideration at the highest level.
