Reference News website, August 19 report - According to the UK's "Independent" website, August 18 report, US President Trump did not rule out the possibility of sending US military peacekeeping forces during the implementation of the Russia-Ukraine peace agreement.
On the 18th, Trump held a brief media meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in the Oval Office and told reporters that the United States and Europe would both participate in ensuring peace after the war in Ukraine, but he did not explicitly state whether US troops would be stationed in Ukraine to maintain peace.
The report said that Trump said: "We will cooperate with Ukraine, and we will cooperate with all parties. We will ensure that if peace is achieved, this peace will be long-lasting. This is a long-term peace, we are not talking about two years of peace, and then repeating the past. We will make sure everything goes smoothly. We will work with Russia, with Ukraine, to ensure the plan is feasible. And I believe that if peace is truly achieved, I believe it will work - I have no doubt about that."
Trump met with Zelenskyy at the White House on the 18th. The Ukrainian leader was one of the European leaders who recently visited Washington to discuss a possible peace agreement. A few days before this meeting, Trump had met with Russian President Putin to discuss ways to end the war.
Facing further questions from journalists about security guarantees for Kyiv, Trump said that any post-war solution would include "a large amount of security assistance," but he emphasized that Europe would play the role of the "first line of defense" - although the United States would also provide some support.
