According to him, Trump clearly expressed his position that NATO should not be part of them, because this is an important argument for Russia.

French President Emmanuel Macron said that any possible territorial concessions to Ukraine should be directly linked to security guarantees, Le Monde newspaper reported .

According to him, US President Donald Trump has clearly expressed his position that NATO should not be part of them, because this is an important argument for Russia.

“President Trump has made it very clear in those exact words. He even said things that are very important to me: the fact that NATO should not be part of these security guarantees, and we know that this is a strong argument, especially for the Russian side,” he said.

At the same time, the United States and all allies, according to Trump, should enter into these guarantees, which Macron called a fundamental clarification.

The French president also noted that during the negotiations, Trump said that he wanted the United States to be able to achieve a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia during the meeting in Alaska.

Security guarantees for Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said there must be truly credible security guarantees for Ukraine, and President Donald Trump “said he supports that and America is ready to participate .  “

“We agreed on general principles – five principles. This is the format of negotiations: everything that concerns Ukraine should be discussed exclusively with Ukraine. We must prepare a trilateral format of conversation. There must be a ceasefire – number one. There must be security guarantees – truly reliable ones. And today President Trump said that he supports this and that America is ready to participate,” Zelensky said.
