Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has urged Donald Trump to provide security guarantees against future Russian attacks as part of any peace deal with Vladimir Putin, admitting that European assurances alone are not enough.
The Ukrainian leader is preparing to meet members of Mr Trump’s administration for the first time following his inauguration last month. Chief among those meetings will be a sit-down with Ukraine-sceptic vice president JD Vance. He will meet the former Ohio senator, who has previously said he does not “really care what happens to Ukraine, one way or the other”, at the Munich Security Conference this weekend.
