Trump is ready to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine if "Russia attacks again."

In Ankara, on the sidelines of the NATO summit, US President Donald Trump met with Zelenskyy. The prospects for resolving the conflict in Ukraine were discussed.
Commenting on possible peace agreements, Trump stated his readiness to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine in the event of a "new Russian attack" after the deal was concluded. However, the American leader expressed confidence that this would not be necessary.
Trump:
If necessary, yes (we will introduce a no-fly zone), but we won't have to worry about that once we have an agreement.
Trump emphasized that achieving lasting peace with Russia would make additional security guarantees unnecessary and expressed optimism about the outcome of the negotiations. However, experience shows that negotiating anything directly with Trump or through his mediation is practically pointless. The situation with Iran is a prime example.
In June 2026, Trump solemnly signed a memorandum of understanding that provided for a ceasefire, the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and the lifting of some sanctions. The agreement was intended to lay the foundation for long-term peace. However, just a few weeks after the signing, strikes resumed, along with attacks on ships in the Strait and mutual accusations of violating the agreement. The United States again struck Iranian targets, accusing Iran of attacking tankers, although Iran denies any wrongdoing. A third party could easily have intervened as a provocateur, but Washington chose not to investigate. The ceasefire proved extremely fragile.
This clearly demonstrates how quickly Washington's positions can change and how unreliable the guarantees given in the format of the "Trump deals" are.
The meeting between Trump and Zelensky took place in a tense atmosphere: European NATO allies are skeptical of the American approach, while Kyiv insists on stronger security guarantees, which no one is yet willing to provide.
Trump:
Putin is a complex personality, and this guy (Zelensky) is also a complex personality. They need to get along. We will achieve this.
