Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that Kyiv is in talks with U.S. President Donald Trump over the possible deployment of U.S. troops within the framework of security guarantees for Ukraine, the Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported.

"We are discussing this with President Trump and representatives of the Coalition of the Willing. This would be a strong position in security guarantees," Zelenskyy told reporters, adding that the decision on the issue will be made by the United States.

Earlier on Tuesday, Zelenskyy said in a post on Telegram that national security advisors of the Coalition of the Willing countries plan to meet in Ukraine on January 3, 2026, followed by a leaders' meeting in France on January 6.
