NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte revealed ongoing discussions about granting security guarantees to Ukraine similar to those provided to NATO member states. He emphasized that these discussions do not involve Ukraine’s NATO membership or the deployment of ground troops. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that security guarantees would likely be defined within 10 days. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer proposed forming a force from a ‘coalition of the willing’ to be stationed in Ukraine after a ceasefire or peace agreement. Other ideas include an armed peacekeeping force to support Ukraine’s army defensively and a small monitoring force to report military actions. Former U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed U.S. support for European security guarantees to Ukraine to help end the war with Russia but did not commit to sending American troops, mentioning instead a NATO-like security presence.
