Kiev has said it wants post-conflict assurances before signing any agreements<\/strong><\/p>\n

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told EU officials that Washington wants Ukraine to sign a peace deal before it agrees to any security guarantees, Politico reported on Wednesday, citing sources.<\/p>\n

Kiev has been seeking formal security assurances from its Western sponsors, and insists they should come before a peace agreement. Moscow has said it does not oppose security guarantees in principle, but insists they must not be one-sided or aimed at containing Russia, and should come after a peace deal, not before.<\/p>\n

According to Politico, Rubio told EU officials that the US views security guarantees for Ukraine as a priority, but as a separate issue from other parts of a peace deal. He reportedly signaled that US President Donald Trump will discuss the guarantees with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky after Kiev approves the US peace plan proposed last week.<\/p>\n

According to leaked versions, the 28-point plan<\/a> requires Kiev to abandon several long-standing “red lines,”<\/em> including renouncing NATO membership, providing de facto recognition of Russian sovereignty over Crimea and the Donbass republics, and capping its army at 600,000 troops.<\/p>\n

Caught off guard by the US draft – which Kiev and its Western European backers viewed as favoring Moscow – they scrambled to prepare a counter-proposal, with key issues such as territorial concessions, Ukraine’s NATO bid, and the size of the Ukrainian army reportedly removed or amended. The counter-proposal reportedly includes security guarantees for Ukraine modeled on NATO’s Article 5 collective-defense clause, committing guarantor states to defend Ukraine against potential aggression.<\/p>\n

Zelensky has since said he wants to meet with Trump to discuss the plan further, insisting<\/a> that his European backers be present for the talks. Trump has said he will meet with Zelensky when the peace deal is “in its final stages.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Moscow largely welcomed Trump’s peace proposal, saying it could serve as the basis for a final settlement, but accused Kiev’s European backers of trying to undermine peace efforts and distort the plan “for their own agenda.”<\/em><\/p>\n
