President Volodymyr Zelenskyy considers the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) security guarantees for Ukraine the cheapest for Ukraine, Europe, the US
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that if a ceasefire deal were enacted with Russia, "at least 200,000 European peacekeepers" would need to be on the ground in Ukraine to defend the Eastern European country against a possible attack by Russia.
