Zelenskyy seeks U.S. security assurances from Trump

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet with former President Donald Trump in Washington to seek U.S. security assurances against future Russian aggression. This meeting comes as Ukraine signs a significant economic agreement with the U.S. for reconstruction funding. The agreement includes a joint investment fund, with Ukraine contributing 50% of future resource revenues. Zelenskyy emphasizes that security guarantees must accompany this deal, while Trump remains noncommittal about U.S. military support. Zelenskyy aims to clarify U.S. military aid and the use of frozen Russian assets for weapons purchases. Concerns persist about a potential peace deal that may not favor Ukraine, as Trump has previously made controversial statements regarding the conflict.
