According to Axios, citing sources on Saturday, the US government under President Donald Trump was willing to provide NATO-style and Congress-approved security guarantees if Kyiv agreed to make territorial concessions to Russia. Ukraine has rejected any concessions and instead called for a ceasefire - which Moscow views as a way to gain time and prolong the conflict.
The media cited unnamed US officials who said that talks on security guarantees for Ukraine have made "significant progress." One source said Washington hopes to get "not a blank check... but something strong enough" and "we are willing to send it to Congress for a vote."
The official continued, saying the proposal would include territorial concessions, with Ukraine "retaining about 80% of its territorial sovereignty," and receiving "the strongest and largest security guarantees in history," as well as "a very significant prosperity plan."
