U.S. Considers NATO-like Security Assurance for Ukraine
The U.S. is contemplating providing NATO-like security guarantees to Ukraine amid its ongoing conflict with Russia. Discussions involve potential legislative agreements with Russia to avoid further territorial expansions into Ukraine. President Trump, Russian President Putin, and other leaders are negotiating the terms of a potential peace deal.
In a significant diplomatic move, the United States is considering offering Ukraine security guarantees akin to NATO's Article 5 protection. This revelation comes as U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin discuss possibilities for peace in the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
Steve Witkoff, Trump's special envoy to Russia, emphasized the breakthrough in negotiations, noting that Russia had tentatively agreed to such an arrangement. Further discussions are planned with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and European leaders to solidify these security measures.
Russian officials have shown openness to legislative commitments against seizing more Ukrainian territory, embodying a potential shift in the deadlock. The proposed plans still face scrutiny from Trump's political base, yet signal a push towards diplomacy over continued conflict.
