Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said security guarantees for Kyiv could be finalised within 10 days following talks in Washington with US President Donald Trump and European leaders. He described his meeting with Trump as the “best” so far, highlighting US willingness to take part in a framework ensuring Ukraine’s security, Reuters reported.

Zelenskiy noted that the guarantees would likely be formalised on paper soon and include a US weapons package worth around $90bn, covering aircraft and air defence systems. He added that Washington had also agreed to purchase Ukrainian drones once exports resume.

While a peace deal with Russia remains distant, Zelenskiy said Ukraine was prepared to negotiate “in any format,” with territorial issues to be addressed directly with President Vladimir Putin although no date for such talks has been set, according to Reuters.
