Ukraine receives U.S. draft on security guarantees
The US aims to secure peace by offering Ukraine NATO-style defense guarantees and proposing troop withdrawal from Donbas, with ongoing talks involving European allies.
- This past week the United States administration prepared a draft offering security guarantees aligned with NATO's Article 5, while Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy plan to meet in Berlin on 15 December.
- Washington's draft pairs security guarantees with Ukraine withdrawing forces from Donbas and creating a demilitarized or free economic zone as part of the US peace plan.
- Ukraine's presidency submitted 20-point counter-proposals on Thursday and Zelenskyy says territorial concessions must face a referendum, while an unnamed US official said guarantees would be strong but not unconditional and ready for US Congress vote.
- European partners signalled support for a referendum if Zelenskyy proposes territorial concessions, the Office of the President denied agreeing to a Donbas buffer, and Zelenskyy faces US pressure for a deal by Christmas amid uncertain Russian response.
- Allies discussed mobilising 200 billion euros in frozen Russian assets, while President Donald Trump favours shuttle diplomacy led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner amid German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's remarks on ceasefire progress.
