FoxNews reports that “President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff told CNN that Putin agreed to allow the U.S. to provide Ukraine “robust security guarantees.”
“We got to an agreement that the United States and other European nations could effectively offer Article 5-like language to cover a security guarantee,” in reference to the critical NATO provision,” Witkoff said, referencing the military alliance’s mutual defense clause, known as Article.”
In the words of Witkoff and following Trump’s Truth Social post, a NATO membership for Ukraine is excluded. Instead, there may be offered bilateral security guarantees by some willing countries that may even have a similar wording as NATO’s art.5.
Nevertheless it sounds rather that it will be the burden for some select European nations:
“The proposed security guarantees for Ukraine would not come through NATO, but rather from select European allies in the event of a Russia-Ukraine peace deal.”
As it stands today, there is no clear formula if the US would take the risk of offering security guarantees to rest-Ukraine.
