U.S. President Donald Trump said that European countries will be largely responsible for providing Ukraine with defense assistance, including air defense equipment.
This is reported by CNN.
At the White House, Trump was asked whether he plans to provide military assistance to Ukraine in the future, especially after the signing of an agreement between the U.S. and Ukraine on mineral extraction.
"Europe will be largely responsible for that," Trump replied.
When asked about French President Emmanuel Macron's request to support security guarantees for Ukraine, Trump noted that "negotiations are ongoing."
He added: "I don't think it (security guarantees for Ukraine - Ed.) will be a problem, many want to get involved. I've spoken to Russia, it doesn't seem to be a problem for them, I think they understand it."
When asked about supplying air defense systems to Ukraine, Trump stressed that this should also be Europe's responsibility. He noted that he had "very good conversations" with both Ukraine and Russia.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, U.S. President Donald Trump said that he was negotiating with russian dictator vladimir putin to end the war he started in Ukraine.
According to media reports, the U.S. does not want security guarantees to appear in the agreement on mineral extraction.
