Security Guarantees for Ukraine Must Also Be Acceptable to Russia, Rubio Says
European governments want direct involvement as Marco Rubio says any postwar security guarantees for Kyiv must also be acceptable to Russia.
- On Monday, United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio attended a Group of Seven meeting in Paris, where European diplomats pressed him for direct participation in United States-mediated negotiations aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war.
- Tensions intensified following President Donald Trump's hints at a "very big" broader agreement with Russia, causing allies to fear "backdoor bargains" that could compromise Ukrainian sovereignty or undermine Europe's security architecture.
- German Minister for Foreign Affairs Johann Wadephul argued "there can be no solution without Europe," while Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga stressed that "no one has the right to decide our fate behind our backs."
- Rubio clarified that the United States acts only as a facilitator for upcoming Abu Dhabi talks scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, which aim to gauge if Russia is "genuinely prepared to negotiate."
- Regarding potential NATO-style security guarantees, Rubio told reporters on Monday that while concepts have been discussed, the administration has not settled on a final plan, emphasizing that Russia must also agree.
