Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Western partners plan to put security guarantees for Kyiv on paper within the next week to 10 days, following talks in Washington with U.S. President Donald Trump and several European leaders. "Security guarantees will probably be unpacked by our partners, and all of this will be formalised on paper within a week to ten days," he told reporters. Pressed on what assurances he needs to conclude a peace agreement with Moscow, Zelenskyy replied simply, "Everything," signalling that Ukraine seeks comprehensive military, intelligence and financial backing as part of any settlement. He called the pledge a "major step forward" in efforts to end Russia’s three-and-a-half-year war in eastern Ukraine. Zelenskyy added that he had received a "clear signal" of U.S. participation in coordinating and providing the guarantees, and underscored the importance of Washington’s role alongside European allies. Detailed provisions—including the scale of weapon supplies and the framework for long-term deterrence—are still being negotiated, but Kyiv expects the package to be finalised and signed within the announced timeframe.
