Zelenskyy welcomed security guarantees for Ukraine as part of a potential peace deal, following talks between Trump and Putin. Trump's envoy claimed Putin agreed to a NATO-style guarantee, although this has been disputed. Russia also seeks security assurances. A meeting at the White House involving Zelenskyy, European leaders, and Trump will address a US-backed plan potentially ceding Ukrainian territory. The US Secretary of State emphasized ending the fighting, implying concessions from both sides, while suggesting a ceasefire remains possible.
