According to the article, Trump wants President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to sign a peace agreement with Russia and an agreement with the United States and European countries that would provide Ukraine with immediate security guarantees, ideally at a grand ceremony marking the end of the war.
The head of state believes that security guarantees must first be agreed upon and ratified by the US Congress.
He said that this would give the Ukrainian people confidence that they could rely on their allies in the future, because they had been let down too many times in the past.
"We have good things in these security guarantees, it’s true ... But I want (a) very specific answer: what (our) partners will be ready to do if Putin will come again. This is what Ukrainians want to hear," Zelenskyy explained.
