Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters on Monday that the United States is offering a 15-year security guarantee in the latest draft of the 20-point peace proposal to end Kyivs war with Russia.
Zelensky, answering reporters questions on WhatsApp, said he would prefer the Trump administration to commit to up to 50 years to deter Russia from launching any further attacks.
I would like the guarantee to be much longer, Zelensky said, multiple outlets reported. I told him that we would very much like to consider the possibility of 30, 40, 50 years, Zelensky added. And that would then be a historic decision by President Trump.
Zelensky told reporters that President Trump said he would consider the Ukrainian leaders request for more years, The Associated Press reported.
