Earlier, during a conversation with journalists, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said that the security guarantees from the United States will not be indefinite, “in the documents, it is for 15 years with the possibility of extending these security guarantees.” But Zelensky said he raised the issue during a conversation with Trump.
“I told him that we would very much like to consider the possibility of 30, 40, 50 years. Then it will be a historic decision by President Trump. The president said he would think,” Zelenskyy said.

Before the meeting, Trump said that “we are already in the final stages” of negotiations, but he has no deadlines. Zelensky, in turn, said that the negotiating teams of the United States and Ukraine did “everything that depended on them.” He expressed hope that all prepared documents “will lead us to real results.”
Earlier last week, the president of Ukraine called the 20-point plan, which was created during the talks between Kyiv and Washington, “a basic document on ending the war.” According to him, the plan envisages that Ukraine will receive strong security guarantees, and the number of the Armed Forces will be 800,000 in peacetime.
Representatives of the Russian government did not officially comment on this plan. The Russian authorities will demand that “key changes” be made to the 20-point peace plan developed as a result of discussions between Ukraine and the United States, Bloomberg reported, citing a source close to the Kremlin.
