The United States has prepared a draft of security guarantees for Ukraine within the framework of Trump's peace plan, based on NATO's Article 5 and providing for a collective Western response to any potential Russian aggression.
In Pokrovsk, Ukrainian defenders are facing a change in tactics by Russian units, which are moving away from standard combat methods and operating covertly, disguising themselves as civilians, complicating the defense and increasing risks along the front line.
