He has outlined some of the details of what has come out from the meeting with Donald Trump.

President Zelensky says that the security guarantees have been 100% agreed, and they're pretty much ready.

He says that the US offers those guarantees for 15 years, and Kiev wants them to be in place for much longer, for at least 30 years.

And President Zelensky says that

Ukraine has been at war for nearly 15 years.

And if you look at the annexation of Crimea, which happened in 2014, that means Ukraine is effectively at war for 12 years.

And therefore, Zelensky says that those security guarantees must be in place for a much longer period.

And there are some other details that he mentioned about these guarantees.

So there will be a monitoring mechanism.

And he mentioned that there will be presence of partners.

Does that mean boots on the ground?

It is not clear.

But earlier, there were discussions about sending European military contingents to Ukraine as part of those security guarantees.

Now, Moscow is adamant that any presence of foreign military troops on the territory of Ukraine will not be accepted here.

and will be treated as a legal target by their forces.

But the main issue, the issue of the territory, has not been resolved.

And that was the main objective for President Zelensky's meeting with Donald Trump.

And that issue hasn't been resolved because Russia does not want to have any, even a temporary ceasefire agreement to allow a referendum.

And the compromise that the U.S.

offered to resolve this issue of territory involves negotiations.
