Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed a desire for long-term security assurances from the United States, spanning 30 to 50 years, in a recent post on the social media platform X. He mentioned that former President Donald Trump indicated a willingness to explore this possibility.
Zelenskyy and Trump convened in Florida on Sunday amidst Ukraine’s ongoing conflict with Russia. The U.S. is seeking ways to facilitate peace in the region.
In a follow-up post on Monday, Zelenskyy shared that Trump had reaffirmed “strong security guarantees” during their discussion.

“Trump confirmed the specifics hashed out by our teams on these security guarantees and mentioned they would be presented to the U.S. Congress for approval. This represents a robust agreement,” Zelenskyy remarked.
During a joint press conference alongside Zelenskyy on Sunday, Trump was asked whether he offered any promises or assurances of security for Ukraine.
“I did. We wanna work with Europe,” Trump answered, adding that Europe will “take over a big part of it” but that the U.S. will assist.

Zelenskyy, in another Monday post on X, indicated that Ukraine would like decades of security guarantees from the U.S.
“In the documents, the guarantees are set for 15 years, with the possibility of extension. I raised this issue with the President. I told him that our war has already been going on for more than a decade, and therefore, we would very much like the guarantees to last longer. We would like to consider the possibility of 30, 40, or 50 years. It would then become a historic decision by President Trump. The President said that the U.S. would consider it,” the foreign leader noted in the post.
