Zelenskyy seeks postwar security guarantees and $16 billion in US aid
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is calling for specific, written security guarantees from Western allies to define how support will function once the war with Russia ends. He emphasized that these guarantees must be tangible and clearly outlined on paper to ensure a response if Russia attacks again.
In Brussels, officials from the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, the European Union, and NATO met to discuss postwar reconstruction, security strategies, and funding for 2027. The meetings included representatives from the World Bank and BlackRock. These discussions precede planned trilateral peace talks between Ukraine, Russia, and the United States in Abu Dhabi next week.
Zelenskyy also addressed the political shift in the United States following Democratic victories in recent elections. He expressed hope that the new congressional makeup will help unblock $16 billion in previously agreed-upon US aid that has not yet been disbursed. He noted that while Ukraine is grateful for existing support, it must fight to secure these remaining funds to bolster air defenses, specifically for Patriot missile systems.
