Zelensky says strong Ukrainian army is key security guarantee after US envoys' Kyiv visit

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that a strong Ukrainian army is the main security guarantee for the country, following a meeting in Kyiv with US President Donald Trump's special representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Zelensky emphasized that territorial issues remain relevant and complex, and can only be resolved at the level of country leaders. He also noted the importance of European colleagues joining a third of the negotiations, with agreements reached for Ukraine, Europe, and the US to hold further talks soon. The president stressed that security guarantees must be strong and clear, adding that Ukraine should not fear future challenges. The US envoys arrived in Ukraine on September 6 after talks with Vladimir Putin in Moscow, with discussions covering security guarantees, economic guarantees, and post-war recovery plans.
