Washington has offered a 15-year security guarantee to Kyiv as part of a proposed peace plan, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Dec 29.

The Ukrainian leader added, however, that his preference would be for the United States to make a commitment of up to 50 years to deter Russia from any future land grabs.
