NEW YORK, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — The United States will help ensure Ukraine's security after its conflict with Russia ends, but there will be no American troops in Ukraine, U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday.
“I can assure you of that,” Trump said in an interview with Fox News the day after the White House summit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders.
On Monday, during meetings at the White House, D. Trump noted that the United States would be “involved” in the issue of security guarantees for Ukraine after the end of the conflict, but did not provide details. On Tuesday morning, in an interview on the Fox program
“When it comes to security, they are ready to send their people /to Ukraine/,” D. Trump said, referring to European countries.
“We are ready to help them, especially, probably, from the air, because no one has the capabilities that we do,” the US president added.
“The issue of security guarantees for Ukraine and the possible participation of the United States in ensuring them have become a stumbling block in the negotiations that D. Trump is conducting in an attempt to achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine,” the Washington Post reported on the development of events.
“European leaders are encouraged by the fact that D. Trump appears to be demonstrating a willingness for the United States to participate in the peacekeeping process in Ukraine, but this could complicate negotiations with Russia, which has long opposed the expansion of military support for Ukraine from its allies,” the publication noted.
It is rare for the White House to host such a large delegation of foreign dignitaries as happened on Monday, when V. Zelensky and European leaders arrived with D. Trump to discuss the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
The main topics of the White House meetings were security guarantees for Ukraine and a possible trilateral meeting between Russia, Ukraine and the United States. However, disagreements remain on a number of key issues, including the need for a ceasefire before further negotiations.
The talks in Washington came just three days after the US and Russian presidents met in the US state of Alaska, where some progress was reported but no agreement was announced. –0–
