Ukrainian leader had sought 50 years of security guarantees at Florida meeting with Trump
Al Jazeera has some quotes Zelenskyy gave reporters about the US security guarantees he reportedly agreed with Trump during their meeting (see opening post for more details). Here are some quotes from the Ukrainian leader:
In the documents, it is for 15 years, with the possibility of extending these security guarantees. I raised this issue with the president, I told him that we have a war going on, and it has been going on for almost 15 years, so I really wanted the guarantees to be longer …
I told him that we really wanted to consider the possibility of 30, 40, 50 years, and this would then be a historic decision by President Trump. The president said that he would think about it.
Zelenskyy also said he wants Kyiv to host a meeting with European and American officials in the “coming days” to work on documents to end the war.
