Zelensky says Washington is tying security guarantees to Ukraine withdrawing from Donbas, warning such a move would undermine both Ukraine and Europe’s security.

    I mean, the Ukraine was already promised security guarantees that were ignored, so I’m not sure why he thinks trump will honor new ones.

      Reminds me of the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact signed in 1939. Hitler broke it in 1941 when Germany invaded Russia. If Trump betrays Ukraine in exchange for Iran, Putin after taking the Donbas region could then betray Trump by sending troops into Iran. Since Russia is closer to both Ukraine and Iran, it can exert control more than the US.

      the Ukraine

      But I agree; the word “guarantee” is buckling under the weight it’s lifting.

      so I’m not sure why he thinks trump will honor new ones.

      Why are you stating he does when he clearly doesn’t?

      “I would very much like the American side to understand that the eastern part of our country is part of our security guarantees,” he said.
