Reuters: US Backs Security Guarantees For Ukraine For The First Time

The focus has shifted.

The United States for the first time backed a broad coalition of Ukraine's allies, pledging to provide security guarantees that would include commitments to support the country in the event of another Russian attack.

According to Reuters, the pledge came at a summit of a "coalition of the willing" made up mostly of European countries to strengthen guarantees that would help Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire with Russian Federation.

The publication noted that unlike previous coalition meetings, the summit also included U.S. envoys Steve Whitkoff and Jared Kushner, as well as the top U.S. general in Europe, Alexus Hrynkiewicz, who outlined details of the security guarantees to European army chiefs the day before.

Whitkoff said after the summit that U.S. President Donald Trump "strongly supports the security protocols."

"These security protocols are designed ... to deter further attacks on Ukraine, and ... if attacks do occur, they are designed to protect, and they will do both. They are as strong as they can be at all," he said.

Kushner, for his part, said that if the Ukrainians conclude a final agreement, "they need to know that after the agreement they will be safe, they will have a credible deterrence mechanism, and there will be real guarantees that this will not happen again."

What remains to be decided

The coalition leaders' statement also said the allies would participate in a proposed U.S.-led cease-fire verification mechanism. Officials said this would likely involve drones, sensors and satellites rather than U.S. troops. However, it has yet to be decided how the monitoring would be conducted and how the AFU would be supported and funded.

The publication noted that the statement has not yet been formally endorsed explicitly by the U.S., and details of that country's role have been softened from an earlier draft, notably removing language describing the use of U.S. capabilities to support multinational forces in Ukraine.

European officials, however, welcomed the U.S. envoys' participation and strong comments as evidence that the The possibility of a military response is likely to spark discussion in many European countries, diplomats said.
