Washington – Vladimir Putin of Russia agreed meeting The NATO’s collective defense mandate to allow the US and its European colleagues to give Ukraine a security guarantee with President Trump, which as part of a final deal to end the 3 1/2-year war in Ukraine, said on Sunday, special US messenger Steve Witcoff said.
“We were able to win the following concession: that the United States can provide security like Article 5, which Ukraine wants to be in NATO, is one of the real reasons,” Told CNN’s “kingdom of the Union”. He said that this was “the first time we had” heard “to Russians to agree and called them a” game-changing “.
Article 532-In the center of the member’s military alliance, it is said that an armed attack against one or more members would be considered an attack against all members.
Vitkoff, who attended the state secretary Marco Rubio for talks at a military base in Alaska on Friday, gave some details about doing such an agreement. But this seems to be a major change for Putin and can serve as a workaround for its prolonged objection to Ukraine’s potential NATO membership.
Underlining some details about personal discussions, Witcoff also said that Russia agreed to enact a law that it would “go after any other European countries and violate their sovereignty. And there was much.”
Speaking at a news conference at Brussels with European Commission Chairman Ursula von Der Leyen, President of Ukrainian, Volodimier Zelancesi, he appreciated the move. He said, “We welcome President Trump’s will to contribute to the safety guarantee like Article 5 for Ukraine and ‘Interested of the alliance’-is ready to share the part of the European Union-” he said.
Zelancesi thanked the United States for recent signals that Washington was ready to support such guarantee, but said that much was not clear.
“It is important that the US agrees to work with Europe to provide security guarantee for Ukraine,” he said, “he said,” But there is no description of how it will work, and what will be the role of America, what will be the role of Europe and what the European Union can do, and this is our main task, we need security to work like Article 5 of NATO, and we consider to be a part of the safety guarantee.
Vitkoff defended Mr. Trump’s decision to except for his push that Russian agrees to an immediate ceasefire, which the President had determined as a benchmark to visit the meeting. Vitkoff said that the Republican President had moved to a peace deal because so much progress was made.
“We covered almost all other issues required for the peace deal,” Vitkoff said. “We start looking at some moderation in the way they are thinking about a final peace deal.”
Rubio Said on “Facing the nation with Margaret Brainon” He did not believe that Putin would be forced to accept a ceasefire by imposing a new US ban on Russia.
“If he does this now, the President kept those additional sanctions, it is the end of the dialogue,” Rubio said. “We want to air with a peace deal that ends this war, so Ukraine can go with the rest of his life and rebuild his country and be convinced that it is never going to happen again. It is a goal here.”
Rubio said that Kiev is going to accept things, but she will also have to get things. “
“For example, Ukraine is a sovereign country. They have an authority, as every sovereign country in the world, to prevent the future invasion, to prevent security coalition with other countries, to prevent threats for his national security,” said Rubio. “This is not an improper request. It requires working on it.”
Zelansky and European leader, who heard from Mr. Trump after the summit, are they Set to meet with him At the White House on Monday.
“I am not saying that we are on the verge of a peace deal, but I am saying that we saw the movement, enough agitation to justify a follow -up meeting with Zelanski and European people, to dedicate enough agitation for us even more time,” Rubio said.
