Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he requires “everything” in terms of security guarantees before agreeing to end hostilities with Russia, underscoring that Kyiv wants a comprehensive package that would deter future attacks once a cease-fire is in place. Zelensky added that a face-to-face meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin is possible only after those assurances are agreed. The talks could be held in Switzerland, Austria or Turkey, he told reporters, while ruling out Moscow and Budapest and noting that China cannot serve as a guarantor. The Ukrainian leader aims to settle the “architecture” of the guarantees within seven to ten days, after which he envisages a trilateral session that would also include U.S. President Donald Trump. French President Emmanuel Macron has publicly promoted Geneva as a neutral venue. Zelensky said he has asked Trump to urge Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to lift Budapest’s veto over Ukraine’s accession talks with the European Union. He also warned that Russia is massing forces in the occupied Zaporizhzhia region and cited a record overnight barrage of 574 drones and 40 missiles that killed at least one person in Lviv, arguing that the intensifying attacks underscore the need for robust post-war security arrangements.
