Donald Trump excludes the sending of American troops to Ukraine as part of the security guarantees. In an interview with Fox, the president assured him. “You have my word,” he said. However, the United States could provide guarantees of safety to Ukraine through air support. «We are working to organize a meeting between Putin and Zelensky. If it is successful, we can keep a trilateral meeting and resolve the question “in that format, he said. Speaking with Fox News, the US president then stressed that the Europeans “want to have troops on the field” in Ukraine, referring to France, Germany and the United Kingdom.
“I don’t think it will be a problem,” he specified by commenting on the prospect of the guarantees of safety requested by Kiev in the event of a peace agreement with Moscow. “I’m just trying to prevent people from being killed,” said the American leader, declaring that he had “an excellent phone call” with Putin after yesterday’s meeting with Zelensky and European leaders. “I didn’t call him in front of them, I thought he would have been disrespectful towards President Putin,” he said, “Putin would not have talked to European citizens. I hope Putin is good, otherwise the situation will be hard. Zelensky must also show flexibility ».
Meanwhile, the meeting of the European Council in videoconference convened to take stock of the interviews relating to Ukraine has ended. European sources communicate it. Soon the president of the European Council, Antonio Costa, will speak to the press from Lisbon, from where he took part in the summit.
