"Zelenskyy said the document a cornerstone of any settlement to end the war, which would guarantee Washington and other Western allies would support Ukraine if Russia invaded again was almost complete."
"The bilateral document on security guarantees for Ukraine is now essentially ready for finalisation at the highest level with the president, he said. He said the talks in Paris, involving teams from the US and Europe, had addressed complex issues from the framework under discussion to end the nearly four-year war, with the Ukrainian delegation presenting possible solutions for these."
"We understand that the American side will engage with Russia, and we expect feedback on whether the aggressor is genuinely willing to end the war, he said. Washington, which on Tuesday endorsed the idea of providing security guarantees for Ukraine for the first time, is expected to present any agreement it reaches with Kyiv to Moscow, in its attempt to broker an end to the conflict."
An agreement on US security guarantees for Ukraine is essentially ready for finalisation following negotiations in Paris. Talks addressed complex framework issues and included Ukrainian proposals for solutions. Washington endorsed the idea of providing security guarantees for Ukraine and is expected to present any agreement reached with Kyiv to Moscow as part of brokering an end to the conflict. Kyiv insists on legally-binding assurances that allies would come to its defence to deter future Russian aggression. Specific details of the guarantees and allied responses remain undisclosed. Moscow rejected a plan for European peacekeepers as militaristic and warned they would be legitimate military targets.
