United States is offering Ukraine security guarantees for a period of 15 years as part of a proposed peace plan, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday, though he said he would prefer an American commitment of up to 50 years to deter Russia from further attempts to seize its neighbor’s land by force.
Donald Trump hosted Zelenskyy at his Florida resort on Sunday and insisted that Ukraine and Russia are “closer than ever before” to a peace settlement.
Negotiators are still searching for a breakthrough on key issues, however, including whose forces withdraw from where and the fate of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, one of the 10 biggest in the world. Trump noted that the monthslong U.S.-led negotiations could still collapse.
There’s also been a “ceasefire” in Gaza for over 2 months.
Trump got a soccer trophy for that. Goooooooooool! Gooolazo!
One side isn’t fighting.
How is that different from the security guarantee we are already ignoring?
Have you considered that this one might have the word “bigly” in it somewhere?
If I can see it would be useless, certainly all of Ukraine can, too.
The U.S. will not go to war against Russia when they invade again. Everyone knows that. Only NATO has a chance of actually helping protect Ukraine from the next invasion.
Yup
Russia has said it won’t accept the deployment in Ukraine of troops from NATO countries.
This includes the US. Basically, Russia is saying no one is allowed to actaully provide security for Ukraine, regardless of whatever paper promises are made.
Ukraine gave up their nukes 30 some years ago after US and Russia agreed to both protect their security…
So this “security” promise is pretty hollow
Also, they already have a guarantee of protection from us that we’re blatantly ignoring.
Well, Trump won’t be alive next time Russia will invade them again.
If Russia actually waits 15 years. Or actually stops at all.
Russia might only have to wait 15 days. I hear our dear leaders brain is dieing
There is no guarantee with trump in involved. The mans word is worthless.
Exactly one year from now: " This was a bad deal, put in place by Biden and we just have to get it changed. See, the nucular is the problem and Obama knew my uncle ar MIT, so we can fix this deal that Biden created. I have told Putin to not invade while we pull all our troops and funding out to make sure that Biden’s terrible deal gets fixed in two weeks. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION! "
Why do you think it’ll take that long?
Because Russia needs the year off to rebuild weapons and a functional army, well as functional as vodka and corruption can do.
Pooters can always advertise for more American evangelicals to move there. “3000 rubles bonus if you bring your teenage sons!”
And we all know what Trump’s word is worth.
Didn’t they already have a security guarantee from the United States when they gave up their nukes?
A 10,000 year guarantee would have just as much weight
You can trust the American government, just ask any Native American. All of our treaties are still upheld…and strong…and *shot in the back.
…because we upheld the terms of the Budapest Memorandum so faithfully?
They had a security agreement with Russia that said Russia would never attack if Ukraine handed over their nuclear arsenal. And we are where we are today because of that.
Don’t trust them!
Pinky promise?
