Sanctions and security guarantees for Ukraine are among the ‘missing pieces’ the Ukrainian president asks for in overnight interview

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for US president Donald Trump to take “a clear position” on Russia, including sanctions and security guarantees for Ukraine.

In an interview with Sky News, published overnight, he said it was the missing piece to progress peace talks as he urged Trump to take “strong personal steps” to “stop Putin.”
