US President Donald Trump on Monday said his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin had at summit talks last week accepted that there would be security guarantees for Ukraine as part of any peace deal.
"In a very significant step, President Putin agreed that Russia would accept security guarantees for Ukraine and this is one of the key points that we need to consider and we're going to be considering that at the table, also who will do what essentially," said Trump as he opened talks with European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House.
"I think the European nations are going to take a lot of the burden. We're going to help them and we're going to make it very secure," he said.
