Europe must clearly define security guarantees for Ukraine — Zelenskiy

Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelenskiy has called on European leaders to define clear and enforceable security guarantees for his country as part of ongoing efforts to secure a peace settlement with Russia after more than three years of war.Speaking during a virtual meeting with Polish President Karol Nawrocki and leaders from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Denmark, Zelenskiy stressed the need for a united European stance and a concrete framework outlining who would support Ukraine in case of future Russian aggression.The meeting, held in Poland, followed a deadly Russian missile strike on Kyiv that killed 22 people, underscoring the urgency of stronger security arrangements. Zelenskiy noted that the discussions come as U.S. President Donald Trump pushes for potential peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow while signalling new sanctions on Russia if no progress is made.Zelenskiy said Ukraine expects guarantees covering land, air, and sea defences, highlighting the need for a shared understanding of how allied nations would respond to any renewed attacks. He urged Europe to present a unified front and demonstrate determination to end the war, reinforcing Trumps proposed diplomatic efforts.Senior Ukrainian officials are expected to meet with Trump administration representatives in New York on Friday to further discuss the security framework and potential peace roadmap. The post Europe must clearly define security guarantees for Ukraine Zelenskiy appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
