US EditionTrump tells European leaders US could provide security guarantees for Ukraine: Report
US and European leaders coordinate to offer Ukraine collective security assurances akin to NATO's Article 5 to deter Russian aggression amid ongoing conflict, officials said.
- On Saturday, U.S. President Trump proposed non-NATO security guarantees for Ukraine during a call with Zelensky and European leaders, according to several reports.
- The proposal follows Russia's objection to Ukraine joining NATO, a key cause of their ongoing conflict, and Trump has ruled out Ukraine's NATO membership.
- The guarantees, similar to NATO's Article 5 collective defense but outside the alliance, were discussed with Putin according to Trump, though how it would work remains unclear.
- A diplomatic source confirmed the U.S. proposal on Saturday, noting skepticism about Putin accepting any arrangement that protects Ukraine’s sovereignty.
- Zelensky is due in Washington Monday to discuss this security framework, potential Trump-Putin-Zelensky summit formats, and Kyiv’s European partners’ roles in peace efforts.
