Zelenskyy seeks U.S. security support against Russia
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is meeting with President Donald Trump in Washington to seek U.S. support for Ukraine's security against Russian aggression. This meeting comes as Ukraine prepares to sign a significant economic agreement with the U.S. for reconstruction funding. The preliminary deal includes a joint investment fund, with Ukraine contributing future revenues from natural resources. Zelenskyy emphasizes that any economic agreement must also include specific security guarantees from the U.S., which Trump has not fully committed to providing. Zelenskyy aims to clarify U.S. military aid plans and the potential use of frozen Russian assets for weapons purchases. The meeting is seen as a diplomatic opportunity for Ukraine amid concerns about a possible unfavorable peace deal with Russia.
