Washington: Following talks with U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders in Washington, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday that security guarantees for Kiev could be finalized within the next 10 days. “Security guarantees will probably be ‘unpacked’ by our partners, and more and more details will emerge,” Zelensky told a press briefing after the White House meetings, adding that detailed arrangements are expected to be formally documented within the next week to 10 days.

According to Namibia Press Agency, Zelensky emphasized the importance of the United States sending a clear signal that it will be among the countries helping to coordinate and participate in the security guarantees for Ukraine. Trump assured Zelensky that the United States would play a role in ensuring Ukraine’s security as part of any agreement to end the conflict with Russia, although specific details were not disclosed. He noted that Europe is the “first line of defense,” but confirmed that the U.S. would assist.

Zelensky also mentioned that part of the guarantees involves a U.S. weapons package. He revealed that there is a package with Ukraine’s proposals worth 90 billion U.S. dollars, indicating significant military support as part of the security arrangements.
