Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has asked US President Donald Trump to provide Ukraine with security guarantees that would work in the same way as NATO membership. The head of the Ukrainian state said this during a press conference, reports UNN.
I have been telling him about this since the first day of our talks. It is important for me that Ukraine is in a strong position in these negotiations, that we have a chance to end the war through negotiations and not just end it, but to have a just peace, a lasting peace, so that there is no war again tomorrow. That's what I want, I want these guarantees from the USA. I told Trump about this
Zelenskyy said what he told Trump about security guarantees.
I told him: yes, but in three years you will have another president, in 10 years you will have another president. But the peoples of Europe, the people of Ukraine, the USA will all exist. If Putin guarantees Trump something today and you believe it, Mr. President Trump, then after you he may violate what he tells you. Even if you believe in something
The President stressed that Ukraine needs a fair and clear peace.
Who will be responsible for all this. We need a clear, fair, clear peace that works. Regardless of who is president, who is prime minister, regardless of this, there are security guarantees that work. If you don't give us NATO, and it is you, President Trump, who decides this. If you don't give us NATO, then we ask you to give us something that will work the same way

US President's National Security Advisor Mike Volz said that bilateral diplomacy between the United States and Ukraine continues, although Ukraine's permanent membership in NATO is "extremely unlikely".
