In a high-stakes diplomatic effort, US and NATO officials are meeting to establish security guarantees for Ukraine as tensions with Russia escalate. Former President Trump has been at the center of these discussions, arranging a summit with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and world leaders at the White House. While Trump has ruled out sending US troops to Ukraine, he has suggested that air support could be part of the security guarantees being negotiated. Meanwhile, Ukraine is reportedly offering a $100 billion weapons deal to secure these guarantees. The potential for NATO-like protections for Ukraine remains a key topic, with leaders emphasizing the need for serious and concrete commitments. However, concerns persist about the effectiveness and clarity of these security assurances, as both Trump and other officials navigate the complexities of the situation. As world leaders gather, the path forward for Ukraine remains uncertain.
