US EditionZelenskyy asks Trump for 50 years of security guarantees, says meeting with Russia possible
Zelenskyy requested US security guarantees up to 50 years to deter Russia; current 20-point peace plan includes 15-year guarantees with partner monitoring, officials said.
- On Monday, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the United States is offering Ukraine 15-year security guarantees, though he would prefer a 50-year commitment requiring approval by the U.S. Congress and other parliaments.
- With unresolved territorial issues, key disputes remain over the Donbas region and Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant as Russian forces advance, while guarantees include monitoring arrangements and the 'presence' of partners.
- U.S. negotiators proposed shared control over the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and progress on its fate, while Zelenskyy seeks approval of the 20-point peace plan by a national referendum in Ukraine requiring a ceasefire of at least 60 days.
- With legislative approvals required, any guarantees would need approval by the U.S. Congress and partner parliaments, and allies plan a Coalition meeting in Paris in early January to finalise contributions.
- Zelenskyy warned, 'Without security guarantees, realistically, this war will not end', while some Ukrainian officials see little progress and Russian officials warned after Saturday's attacks they would continue the war if Kyiv resists quick peace.
