Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with his colleagues - US President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris. During the meeting, Zelensky emphasized the importance of security guarantees in the agreement with Russia to end the war.

According to sources, Trump was friendly and open to communication. They did not discuss specific details regarding peace, but Trump expressed a desire for a swift end to the war and the necessity of security guarantees.

'Some key points were mentioned during the meeting - for example, it was stated that peace requires guarantees, as a mere ceasefire is not enough, Putin can violate it again, as he has done before, without proper guarantees,' - stated the Office of the President of Ukraine.

Trump's officials stated that he sees such meetings as an opportunity to develop personal relationships, which are key in his diplomacy.

Presidents Macron and Zelensky were careful not to put Trump in an awkward position. Macron emphasized that Europeans have already done much to support Ukraine and are ready to share the burden of security evenly with the US. They also told Trump that Putin's behavior has changed and should be viewed more skeptically.

'We explained without cornering Trump,' - the source highlighted.

This meeting is an important milestone for diplomatic relations between Ukraine, the US, and France. Zelensky hopes for US support and emphasizes the need for a strong partnership to achieve peace in Ukraine.

Earlier, Zelensky also spoke about the production of new Ukrainian missiles.
