US Vice President JD Vance advocates for a minerals deal between Washington and Kyiv, asserting it would provide better security guarantees than military troops. He claims that economic investment from the US in Ukraine is crucial for long-term security. Vance criticized Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's lack of engagement with the US and emphasized the need for negotiations between Zelenskyy and Putin. Meanwhile, there is international interest in peacekeeping forces, but Russia has rejected any European intervention in Ukraine.
If you want real security guarantees, if you want to actually ensure that Vladimir Putin does not invade Ukraine again, the very best security guarantee is to give Americans economic upside in the future of Ukraine.
That is a way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years.
it's important for Zelenskyy and Putin to come to the negotiating table.
European states needed to be realistic on the likely outcome of the war.
