YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHenry Riley speaks to Oleksandr Merezhko, Chairman of the Ukrainian parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, and retired US General Ben Hodges, former commander of US Army Europe.
The discussion comes after high-stakes talks between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump in Florida.
The US president said an agreement on this point was "close to 95%" done, but Ukraine's leader has since said he would like guarantees for up to 50 years.
President Zelenskyy outlined territorial issues and the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant as the last unresolved matters, with little said on the future of Ukraine's contested Donbas region.
Russia has previously rejected key parts of the plan, but a Kremlin spokesman agreed on Monday with Trump's assessment that peace is closer, Russian-owned news agency Tass reported.
