In a recent post on X, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed Ukraine’s desire for long-term security guarantees from the United States, spanning potentially 30, 40, or even 50 years. He mentioned that former President Donald Trump had shown openness to considering this request.
Zelenskyy had a meeting with Trump in Florida on Sunday, amid Ukraine’s ongoing, grueling conflict with Russia. The U.S. government is actively seeking ways to facilitate a peaceful resolution to the war.
On Monday, Zelenskyy shared on X that during their meeting, Trump had “confirmed strong security guarantees” for Ukraine.

“He confirmed the details discussed by our negotiating teams about these security guarantees and assured that they would be presented to the United States Congress for a vote. This represents a robust agreement,” Zelenskyy stated.
During a joint press conference with Zelenskyy on Sunday, Trump was questioned about whether he had made any commitments or assurances regarding Ukraine’s security.
“I did. We wanna work with Europe,” Trump answered, adding that Europe will “take over a big part of it” but that the U.S. will assist.

Zelenskyy, in another Monday post on X, indicated that Ukraine would like decades of security guarantees from the U.S.
“In the documents, the guarantees are set for 15 years, with the possibility of extension. I raised this issue with the President. I told him that our war has already been going on for more than a decade, and therefore, we would very much like the guarantees to last longer. We would like to consider the possibility of 30, 40, or 50 years. It would then become a historic decision by President Trump. The President said that the U.S. would consider it,” the foreign leader noted in the post.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House on Monday for comment, but they did not immediately respond.
