#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost_ . . . U.S. President Donald Trump spoke by phone with President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders on Sept. 4, hours after the “Coalition of the Willing” summit in Paris, where officials discussed security guarantees for Ukraine.
Speaking at the press conference held after the call, French President Emmanuel Macron said that 26 countries are ready to send troops or contribute other support to Ukraine as part of security guarantees.
“Germany, Italy, and Poland are definitely among Ukraine’s security guarantors. We won’t go into details yet, but we already have an understanding (of cooperation),” Zelensky added.
The U.S. involvement in the framework, aimed to shield Ukraine from future Russian aggression in the event of a truce or peace deal, will be determined in the coming weeks, Macron said.
He added that the U.S. and Europe will impose additional sanctions on Russia if it continues to refuse to participate in the peace process. He mentioned the previously discussed idea of a bilateral meeting between Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin, as well as broader talks involving the U.S. and Europe.
