US offers security guarantees to Coalition of the Willing, not directly to Ukraine, media reports

British officials told the publication that US representatives have agreed to provide intelligence and logistical support to European troops in Ukraine to support a peace agreement from land, air, and sea. So far, negotiations are being conducted privately.

According to The Telegraph, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer spent two months pressuring US President Donald Trump to secure the necessary support.

In a comment to The Telegraph, Starmer confirmed that there has been progress on the issue of security guarantees from the US.

"There are ongoing discussions and he’s said a number of times that he’d have our back, as you know. And I’ve been clear that that’s an important component of what we need to do," said the UK Prime Minister.

The publication notes that if planes, military ships, and troops are sent to Ukraine, they will require supply chains and assistance in understanding Russia's movements within Ukraine and beyond its borders.

It remains unclear whether the US will intervene if Russia attacks or targets the troops of the Coalition of the Willing.

Peacekeeping forces for Ukraine

It is worth recalling that the UK and France have led Europe's efforts to ensure peace in Ukraine after a ceasefire and in the event of a peace agreement. The two countries formed the Coalition of the Willing, with the goal of gathering states that are ready to send troops to Ukraine or provide the necessary support for this.

Ukraine advocates for the US to act as one of the security guarantors. However, Washington has not committed to this.

Previously, Trump refused to promise that the US would come to the aid of European allies if they were attacked by Russian forces while ensuring peace in Ukraine.

One of the countries that agreed to send troops to Ukraine was the UK. However, The Times recently reported that the UK abandoned this idea but decided to help the Ukrainian army.
