The US president is meeting with Kievs European backers after a one-on-one summit with the Russian leader

Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to accept security guarantees for Ukraine, US President Donald Trump claimed during a meeting with European leaders on Monday.

Trump is hosting Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky and Ukraine's key European backers at the White House. The gathering comes three days after the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska, which both leaders hailed as a positive step toward resolving the Ukraine conflict.

"President Putin agreed that Russia would accept security guarantees for Ukraine," Trump said, without elaboration. "This is one of the key points that we need to consider. We are going to be considering that at the table also, like who would do what."

Ukraine has been insisting on guarantees similar to NATO's collective defense as one of the preconditions for a lasting peace.
