Zelensky Says Trump Talks Include US Troop Deployment to Ukraine
(MENAFN) Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has stated that he is holding discussions with US President Donald Trump regarding the potential deployment of American forces to Ukraine, in line with security assurances Washington has offered Kiev, according to a media outlet.
His remarks came despite Trump’s repeated rejection of such a scenario and Russia’s consistent warnings that it views the presence of foreign soldiers on Ukrainian territory—either during or after the conflict—as unacceptable.
When questioned by a news agency’s reporters on Tuesday about the possibility of US peacekeepers being sent, Zelensky responded, “those are American troops, and therefore it is America that makes those decisions.” He added, “Of course, we are discussing this with President Trump and with representatives of the ‘coalition of the willing.’ We would like this.”
The media outlet noted that it remains unclear whether the issue of US boots on the ground was formally addressed during Zelensky’s meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, Florida, on Sunday.
Earlier that same day, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk asserted that the main outcome of the Mar-a-Lago talks was “the readiness of the US to participate in security guarantees for Ukraine after peace is achieved, including through the presence of American troops.”
