Ukraine wants 20-year US security guarantee to sign peace deal
Ukraine is seeking a 20-year security guarantee from the US before finalizing a peace deal, with President Zelenskyy emphasizing the need for clarity on this issue ahead of upcoming talks with Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine requires at least a 20-year security guarantee from the United States before it is willing to sign a peace deal that reflects its dignity. This announcement was made during the Munich Security Summit, where Zelenskyy expressed hope that the forthcoming trilateral discussions with Russia and the US would yield substantial results. He highlighted the importance of clearly defined terms regarding these security guarantees, indicating that ambiguity has caused frustration within Europe and concerns about the US's commitment to Ukraine's security.
