Ukraine begins work on concrete security guarantees after Zelenskyy meets Trump
Talks in Washington with U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders have launched work on concrete future security guarantees for Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Telegram on Aug. 19.
He said the agreements marked a significant step toward ending the war and strengthening protection for Ukrainians.
“Today we continue coordination at the leadership level, discussions will take place, and we are preparing the appropriate formats. We will continue working tomorrow. National security advisers are also in constant contact. Security guarantees will be provided,” the President added.
Ukraine security guarantees
The U.S. and European countries are urgently developing security guarantees for Ukraine to lay the groundwork for a possible meeting between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin.
According to the WSJ, U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders agreed that Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead a special task force. It will include national security advisers and NATO representatives tasked with preparing a draft of security guarantees for Ukraine.
After Zelenskyy and European leaders met with Trump in the U.S., Russian officials began publicly rejecting Europe’s proposals for security guarantees for Ukraine as part of a potential peace agreement, according to a report by the Institute for the Study of War.
