US EditionUS links security guarantees for Ukraine to peace deal ceding Donbas, FT reports
US links security guarantees for Ukraine to a peace deal requiring withdrawal from Donbas, with promises of additional weapons if Kyiv agrees, amid ongoing trilateral talks.
- This month the Trump administration told Ukraine that US security guarantees depend on Kyiv first agreeing a peace deal likely ceding the Donbas region and said additional weapons could follow if Kyiv accepts.
- On Jan 25, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a US guarantees document was `100% ready`, while senior Ukrainian officials say Kyiv wants confirmation before conceding any territory.
- The 50km defensive line around Kramatorsk, Slovyansk, Druzhkivka and Kostyantynivka remains a red line for Zelenskyy, while US proposals include troop withdrawals to create a free economic zone in the Donbas region.
- A senior Ukrainian official said the US `stops each time the security guarantees can be signed`, while Anna Kelly, deputy White House press secretary, called this `totally false` and denied forcing concessions.
- On Jan 26, the Kremlin said territory is fundamental to any deal, while Abu Dhabi talks will continue next week with guarantees that may be too vague for Kyiv and too broad for Russia.
