United States Vice President JD Vance said European countries will have to shoulder the lion's share of guaranteeing Ukraine's post-war security and that the US should not carry that burden alone. Vance said the United States is open to discussions but will not make commitments until it is clear what is necessary to stop the war. President Donald Trump ruled out deploying US troops to Ukraine while suggesting Washington could provide air support. Trump has ruled out NATO membership for Ukraine, but US and NATO officials have discussed offering Kyiv a security guarantee resembling the alliance's collective-defence mandate.
US vice president says Europe will be expected to play the leading role' in guaranteeing Kyiv's post-war security. European countries will have to shoulder the lion's share of guaranteeing Ukraine's security in the event of a deal to end Russia's war in the country, United States Vice President JD Vance has said. In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, Vance said the US should not have to carry the burden of underpinning Kyiv's post-war security.
While Trump has ruled out NATO membership for Ukraine, his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte have raised the possibility of offering Kyiv a security guarantee resembling the 32-member alliance's collective defence mandate. Under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, an armed attack against one NATO member nation is considered an attack on all members of the alliance.
