Reference News Network, November 28 report: According to a report by Russia Today website on November 27, citing a report from the U.S. "Politico" newspaper, sources said that U.S. Secretary of State Rubio has informed EU officials that Washington hopes Ukraine will sign a peace agreement first before agreeing to provide security guarantees.
According to the report, Kyiv has been seeking formal security guarantees from Western donors and has insisted that these guarantees should be implemented before the peace agreement is reached. Moscow stated that it does not oppose security guarantees in principle, but emphasized that such guarantees should not be one-sided or aimed at containing Russia, and should be implemented after the signing of the peace agreement rather than before.
The report stated that Rubio told EU officials that the U.S. considers Ukraine's security guarantees a priority, but this issue is independent of other parts of the peace agreement. The report pointed out that Rubio implied that after Kyiv approved the peace plan proposed by the U.S. last week, President Trump would discuss security guarantees with Ukrainian leader Zelenskyy.
Zelenskyy later expressed hope for a meeting with Trump to further discuss the peace plan and insisted that his European supporters should participate in the talks. Trump said he would meet with Zelenskyy when the peace agreement enters its "final stage." (Translated by Lin Chaohui)
