President Donald Trump has promised to provide support to Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia, but emphasized that the US will not deploy troops on the ground. The US president made the statement during a Fox News interview, a day after hosting a White House summit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders. Trump stated that the US would be "involved" in security guarantees for Ukraine but did not elaborate on the specifics of the plan.
