War in Ukraine: Russia Says European Troops in Ukraine Would Be ‘Unnacceptable’

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy demands clear security guarantees from allies within 10 days before agreeing to a meeting with Russian President Putin to discuss peace.

  • On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged to understand the security guarantees architecture within seven to 10 days, saying he would meet Russian President Vladimir Putin after clarity.
  • Amid reports of Russian troop buildup, Russian forces are reinforcing the southern front in the Zaporizhzhia region, with recent strikes on Lviv and a military drone incident on Tuesday raising tensions.
  • On possible formats, Zelenskyy and U.S. comments show Zelenskyy proposed Switzerland, Austria and Turkey as neutral venues and signalled openness to trilateral talks with former U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, while Trump pledged U.S. security guarantees and dialled Putin to start arrangements.
  • Russia's foreign ministry cautioned Wednesday that high-level talks must be carefully prepared as it signalled no hurry for Putin-Zelenskyy talks, while Zelenskyy said Budapest would be a challenging venue.
  • Speaking about partners, Zelenskyy criticised China's role and said, `First, China did not help us stop this war from the start... We do not need guarantors who do not help Ukraine and did not help Ukraine at the time when we really needed it`.
