US would help assure Ukraine’s security in a peace deal, Trump tells Zelenskiy

US President Donald Trump told President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Monday that the United States would help guarantee Ukraine’s security in any deal to end Russia’s war there, though the extent of any assistance was not immediately clear.
