Zelenskyy insisted that any steps to secure peace in Ukraine would have to involve the might of the United States.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged European countries to provide guarantees to protect Ukraine after the war with Russia ends, but said these would not be enough without support from the United States under Donald Trump.
While the fighting triggered by Russia’s 2022 invasion continues, Western and Ukrainian officials have begun discussing post-war scenarios, prompted in part by President-elect Trump’s pledge to bring the conflict to a swift conclusion.
Addressing a summit of European Union leaders on Thursday, Zelenskyy welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to deploy troops to Ukraine following an eventual ceasefire.
He told the leaders it was “crucial for Europe to make a significant contribution to security guarantees”.
“We support France’s initiative for a military contingent in Ukraine as part of these guarantees and call on other partners to join this effort, it will help bring the war to an end,” he told the closed-door meeting, according to a text posted on his website.
