Ukraine’s president, Volodymr Zelenskyy, said Monday that he has asked for up to 50 years’ worth of security guarantees for Ukraine during his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump at the weekend.
Commenting on the talks with Trump in Florida on Sunday, Zelenskyy told journalists that he said a meeting with Russia would only be possible after the president and European leaders had agreed on a framework peace deal for Ukraine.
The comments, reported by Reuters on Monday, included Zelenskyy stating that he had asked for security guarantees for up to 50 years for Ukraine, but that the current 20-point peace plan envisaged guarantees — aimed at deterring future Russian aggression — for 15 years.
