US President Donald Trump has called for European countries to take the lead in providing security guarantees for Ukraine, but he added that the US would also be involved in the process.
Points of attention
- Trump demands a greater contribution from Europe in ensuring security guarantees for Ukraine to end the ongoing crisis and save lives.
- French President Emmanuel Macron has announced the results of the 'Coalition of the Determined' meeting, showing international support for Ukraine's security.
Trump demands even greater contribution from Europe to security guarantees
As the head of the White House noted, his promise to help Ukraine remains in force.
Despite this, Trump made it clear that it is European countries that will bear the main burden of implementing this plan.
We're going to help them. Look, we want to save a lot of lives, so we're going to do something about it. I think people expect it. We're going to help them.

He also demanded that Europe take the lead in providing guarantees.
"Europe will be first, and they want to be first, they want this to end. Europe wants this to end," the American leader emphasized.
As previously mentioned, on September 4, French President Emmanuel Macron publicly announced the results of the "Coalition of the Determined" meeting.
As of today, 35 allies are ready to provide security guarantees to Ukraine, including 26 of them who have expressed their willingness to either send troops or provide certain assets to support the guaranteeing forces.
What is important to understand is that the US contribution will be finalized in the near future.
