Details: Zelenskyy said that during talks with US President Donald Trump, the parties confirmed that Ukraine would have strong security guarantees from the United States.

Quote: "Indeed, for now this is not forever. The documents provide for 15 years, with the possibility of extending these security guarantees. I raised this issue with the president. I told him that we are still at war and that it has already lasted almost 15 years. That is why we would very much like the guarantees to be longer.

I told him that we would very much like to consider the possibility of 30, 40 or 50 years. That would then be a historic decision by President Trump. The president said he would think about it."

Background:

• French President Emmanuel Macron said that a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing will take place in Paris at the beginning of January, where countries plan to finalise their specific contributions to security guarantees for Ukraine.
• On 28 December, Zelenskyy and Trump met in Florida. The US president said he would call Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin after the meeting.
