Negotiations between Ukraine and the USA
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may meet with Donald Trump to discuss a document on long-term security guarantees for Ukraine. The possible meeting could take place in the coming days, or during the World Economic Forum, which is scheduled for later in January. The Ukrainian side is considering options for holding negotiations in the United States or at an international forum in Switzerland.
Activating international cooperation
According to recent reports, a meeting of the leaders of the 'coalition of the willing' took place in Paris on January 6. During this meeting, Zelensky signed a declaration of intent to deploy a multinational military contingent in Ukraine. This indicates active steps by the Ukrainian side towards strengthening security and cooperation with international partners.
Volodymyr Zelensky noted that 'the security agreement project between Ukraine and the USA is essentially ready for finalization at the highest level.'
This underscores the importance of future negotiations with Trump and the possibility of reaching agreements that could significantly impact the situation in Ukraine. The Ukrainian government does not rule out that Zelensky may visit the United States as early as next week for a personal meeting with the American leader.
The meeting between Zelensky and Trump could be an important step in ensuring long-term security guarantees for Ukraine amid ongoing threats from Russia. The signing of the declaration on deploying a multinational contingent indicates the activation of international cooperation in security, which, in turn, could strengthen Ukraine's position on the international stage.
It is expected that the results of these negotiations could significantly influence the further development of events in the region and Ukraine's relations with the USA.
