The US will provide Ukraine with security guarantees similar to those provided for by NATO Article 5 to protect the country in the event of a Russian violation of the treaty.
Ukraine wants the US to sign such an agreement and ratify it in Congress, while European countries will sign separate security guarantees.
A working group between the US and Ukraine is studying how the details will work and how quickly Ukraine and its allies will be able to respond to any violation of the treaty by Russia.
"The reliability of the U.S. guarantees is arguably undermined by language in the National Security Strategy that seems to erode the NATO alliance, on which the guarantees are modeled.
But the Trump team says it’s committed to continuing U.S. intelligence support for Ukraine, which is the sine qua non of security," the author writes.
