US offered security guarantees to Ukraine conditional on Kyiv ceding Donbas to Russia, Zelenskiy says

Zelensky says US conditions security guarantees on Ukraine ceding Donbas, warning it would weaken Ukrainian and European security amid ongoing war and diplomatic talks.

  • On Wednesday, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told Reuters that the United States made proposed security guarantees for a peace deal conditional on Ukraine ceding the Donbas region to Russia.
  • With the U.S. now focused on its own conflict with Iran, President Donald Trump is applying pressure on Ukraine to end the four-year war, Zelenskiy said.
  • Zelenskiy thanked Trump for maintaining Patriot missile supplies but said, "this supply of Patriot missiles is not as large as we need," as Russia advances on the 'Fortress Belt.'
  • Although Zelenskiy said the security guarantees document was "100% ready" in January, he stated after recent talks that work remains; the White House offered no immediate comment.
  • Russia is betting Washington will lose interest in talks, as Zelenskiy warned that the Middle East situation impacts Trump's next steps regarding Ukraine's peace deal.
