NATO and allies discuss security guarantees for Ukraine

Representatives from the United States, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and NATO met in Brussels to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine. The discussions focused on establishing a functional system of protection for Kyiv in the event of a peace agreement with Russia, rather than mere political declarations.

These diplomatic efforts precede scheduled negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow in Abu Dhabi, which are expected to take place next week under Washington's mediation. The meetings follow previous diplomatic contacts held in Miami and Oslo aimed at finding a sustainable end to the conflict.

Separately, the NATO commander of Joint Forces noted that the alliance lacks total protection against certain Russian weaponry. He highlighted the rapid production pace of Russian jet-powered drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles as a significant factor in the current security landscape.
