KYIV, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr ‌Zelenskiy said on Thursday the text of a bilateral security guarantee between Kyiv and Washington ‌was "essentially ready" to be finalised with U.S. President Donald Trump.

As a cornerstone of any ‌post-war settlement, Ukraine has sought strong guarantees which commit the U.S. and other Western allies to come to Ukraine's aid if Russia invades again.
