Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the US has offered Ukraine a package of security guarantees for a period of 15 years with the possibility of extension.
The head of state said this in a comment to Axios, according to Censor.NET.
15-year safety guarantees
Commenting on security guarantees, Zelenskyy said:
"I think we are ready with these documents, although there are some technical issues that need to be discussed further."
In particular, one such aspect is the term of the agreement. The US has proposed a 15-year pact that can be renewed, Axios writes.
"I think we need more than 15 years," Zelenskyy said, adding that he would consider it a "great success" if Trump agreed to this during their meeting.
He added that both the US and Ukraine intend to submit these guarantees for ratification to their legislative bodies.
