(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, Zelensky made this statement in a video address.

"Ukrainian military personnel are participating in consultations on the functioning of the Strait of Hormuz going forward. Safe navigation is a global value – we know this from our experience of protecting maritime routes in the Black Sea. It must also be valued by everyone in the world. Of course, the situation may change every day and quite significantly, especially given what is happening with Iran and in relations between Europe and America. But our interests are long-term, of all in Europe, and above all, this is a security interest," Zelensky said.

"I have instructed that all of this be processed promptly. There will be contacts with leaders and work at the level of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other ministries. The main thing is that we continuously ensure real opportunities for Ukraine's defense," the President emphasized.

As Ukrinform previously reported, Zelensky stated during an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers in Kyiv that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz resembles Russia's blockade of shipping in the Black Sea.
