In a groundbreaking development, Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to allow the United States and European allies to offer Ukraine a security guarantee akin to NATO’s collective defense mandate. Steve Witkoff, the White House envoy, confirmed the historic agreement, stating that Putin agreed to concessions on five Ukrainian regions central to the war.
Witkoff described the security guarantees as ‘game-changing,’ particularly focusing on the eastern Donetsk province. This agreement marks a significant step towards ending the conflict and establishing peace in the region.
