Speaking in Munich, Volodymyr Zelenskyy also called for a clear date for his country to be allowed to join the EU
Ukraine wants security guarantees for a minimum of 20 years from the US before it can sign a peace deal with dignity, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said ahead of talks with Russia and the US scheduled for next week.
Speaking in Munich on Saturday, he also called for a clear date for Ukraine to be allowed to join the EU. Some EU officials have put the date as early as 2027.
Speaking to the annual Munich security summit, Ukraine’s president said he hoped “the trilateral meetings next week will be serious, substantive, helpful for all of us but, honestly, sometimes it feels like the sides are talking about completely different things”.
“The Americans often return to the topic of concessions and too often those concessions are discussed only in the context of Ukraine, not Russia,” he added.

Not true. I thought so too, but apparently it was a guarantee to:
-
respect Ukraine’s territory (which Russia vialoted, the US didn’t)
-
bring any violations to the UN security council (which was done, but with Russia having veto power, useless)
That being said, I agree that any treaty with the US is absolutely worthless, we can ask Greenland about that.

Didn’t NATO/US/Western countries give security guarantees to Ukraine for Ukraine giving up their nuclear arsenal?
How did that turn out?
The Budapest Memorandum was initially signed by Ukarine, Russia, United States and United Kingdom, “assuring” the security of Ukraine in exchange for giving up their nuclear arsenal. But afaik it doesn’t really imply any legal obligations. I assume that the new agreement would involve more concrete conditions and responsibilities.
I wouldn’t trust the us government to tie my shoes, let alone guarantee anything. And I mean anything at all.
They can’t be trusted. Full stop. The end.We already agreed to that when Ukraine gave up the nucs. Look what that did, nothing. Why would they try again?
