The current framework offers strong security guarantees for Ukraine for 15 years. Kyiv seeks longer security guarantees, possibly for 30, 40, or 50 years, citing a war that has persisted for almost 15 years. The suggestion for extended guarantees was raised during a WhatsApp chat with the US president, who indicated he would consider the proposal. Kyiv anticipates further coordination, with a meeting between national security advisors from Ukraine, the US and Europe possibly taking place in the coming days. The extended guarantees are intended as part of efforts to end Russia's war in Ukraine.
