Kyiv offered 15 years of security pledge: Zelenskiy‘SOLID’ GUARANTEES: Any deal to end Europe’s worst conflict since World War II ‘must be signed by Ukraine, Russia, the US and Europe,’ Zelenskiy saidAFP, KYIVThe US has offered Ukraine “solid” security guarantees for 15 years with a possibility of an extension, but Kyiv is seeking a longer period, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said yesterday after meeting US President Donald Trump. The issue of territory and the future of Ukraine’s Moscow-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant were the remaining unresolved parts of a plan to end the war, Zelenskiy said.

Kyiv was hoping for a meeting with European and US officials in Ukraine in the “coming days” to work on documents to end the conflict, Zelenskiy said. Any deal to end Europe’s worst conflict since World War II “must be signed by Ukraine, Russia, the US and Europe,” he said.
