UN mission could not be alternative to foreign troops: Zelensky

President Volodymyr Zelensky clarified on Friday that Ukraine does not view a U.N. mission as a substitute for the deployment of foreign troops or security guarantees in resolving the conflict with Russia.

Ukraine does not consider a U.N. mission an alternative to the deployment of a contingent of foreign troops or security guarantees to end the war with Russia, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday.

"With all due respect, the U.N. will not protect us from the occupation or Putin's desire to come back," Zelensky said at a joint press conference with Czech President Petr Pavel in Kyiv.
