The administration of US President Donald Trump is ready to provide Ukraine with legally binding security guarantees based on the principles of NATO’s Article 5.
Axios reports this, citing a high-ranking American official.
According to him, the corresponding agreement is planned to be submitted to a vote in the US Congress.
“We want to provide Ukrainians with security guarantees that, on the one hand, are not unfounded and, on the other, are sufficiently strong. We are ready to submit them to a vote in Congress,” the source told the publication.
He also reported that negotiating teams are working on several areas simultaneously: a peace agreement, security guarantees, and Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction. According to the official, the recent talks have given the Ukrainian side, for the first time, a “full vision for the day after” the end of the war. Negotiations on economic recovery and reconstruction, according to an Axios source, are progressing well.
“Under the current proposal, the war would end with Ukraine retaining sovereignty over 80% of its territory, receiving the largest and strongest security guarantee in its history, and a very significant package of assistance for development and prosperity,” the American official noted.
At the same time, several European leaders advised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy not to rush into an agreement, particularly if it included territorial concessions.
Zelenskyy previously stated that Ukraine and the United States are discussing a format for bilateral security guarantees similar to Article 5 of the NATO Charter. He stated that this format is part of the 20-point peace plan, on which negotiations between Kyiv and Washington are ongoing.
As a reminder, representatives from the United States, Ukraine, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom will meet in Paris on December 13 to discuss US President Donald Trump’s peace plan.
As reported, Donald Trump’s new peace plan is almost identical to the controversial “28 points” and once again forces Ukraine to demand serious concessions.
