‘Today, we continue coordination at the level of leaders. There will be discussions, and we are preparing the relevant formats,’ says Ukrainian president

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that work on the content of security guarantees for Kyiv is underway following a summit in Washington with US President Donald Trump and multiple European leaders a day prior.

In a statement on US social media company X, Zelenskyy said “important talks” took place in the US on Monday, which he said marked a “significant” step toward ending the ongoing Ukraine war and ensuring the security of his country and its people.

“We are already working on the concrete content of the security guarantees,” Zelenskyy said, adding that they will continue coordination at the level of leaders during the day and that discussions will be held, for which they are preparing the “relevant formats.”

“We will also continue working tomorrow. National security advisors are also in constant contact now. There will be security guarantees. I thank all our partners for their determination and support.

“Ukraine feels this strength. And we will do everything to make the path to peace a reality – through partnership, through security guarantees, and through the courage of the Ukrainian people,” he added.

Trump hosted Zelenskyy and multiple European leaders in the White House on Monday, where they discussed security guarantees for Ukraine and other ways to end the Ukraine war.

The US president said his administration began preparations for a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zelenskyy, to be followed by a trilateral summit among the three presidents.

Russia says its security interests should be taken into account for any long-term peace deal.
