Historic Shift: US-Russia Agreement on NATO-like Security for Ukraine
At a recent summit, Russia agreed to allow US and European allies to offer Ukraine security guarantees similar to NATO's collective defense. Delegates discussed providing robust security to end the ongoing war. However, the specifics remain undecided, as progress continues toward a peace deal.
In a significant development at the recent summit, Russian leader Vladimir Putin agreed to a US and European proposal to provide NATO-like security guarantees to Ukraine. This comes as part of ongoing negotiations to end the 3 1/2-year conflict in the region.
US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff revealed Russia's rare concession to extend Article 5-style protection to Ukraine. This accord was discussed in talks involving European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, signaling readiness from the 'Coalition of the willing' to extend security guarantees.
Despite progress, crucial details concerning the implementation of these guarantees and the roles involved remain unresolved. While Secretary of State Marco Rubio advocated for peace, he emphasized potential consequences if no agreement is reached, highlighting the complex path ahead.
