Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy voiced his surprise at Russia's decision to alter the leadership of its negotiating team for the upcoming peace talks in Geneva. He perceives the change as a deliberate move to stall progress in discussions.
During the Munich Security Conference, Zelenskiy highlighted the necessity of having foreign troops present in Ukraine following the establishment of a peace deal, aiming to deter any potential Russian aggression in the future.
Furthermore, while the U.S. has offered a security guarantee spanning 15 years post-conflict, Ukraine is advocating for an arrangement that extends 20 years or more, ensuring long-term stability and protection.
