Although the United States is seen as a more powerful guarantor compared to Europe, the diplomat warns against excessive optimism without clearly spelled out legal obligations.<\/p>\n<p> Levchenko also suggested that the current peace process may resemble a suitcase with a double bottom, where Ukraine demonstrates a will for peace, and Russia, by its refusal, only confirms its destructive position.<\/p>\n<p> As a reminder, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that a bilateral <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/hotovyy-do-finalizatsii-z-trampom-shcho-vidomo-pro-dokument-shchodo-harantiy-bezpeky\/\">document on security guarantees for Ukraine is ready for finalization<\/a> at the highest level with US leader Donald Trump. As noted, during the talks in Paris, security guarantees and documents on the recovery and economic development of Ukraine were discussed.<\/p>\n<p> On the eve of the meeting, US President Donald Trump announced that his country is ready to participate in the future defense of Ukraine, as he is confident that Russia will not try to invade the country again. Earlier, the US stated that it had offered Ukraine &#8220;platinum&#8221; security guarantees, the adoption of which requires a vote in Congress.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Twitter<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diplomat Oleksandr Levchenko analyzed the statements of US President Donald Trump regarding the provision of so-called &#8220;platinum&#8221; security guarantees to Ukraine.
