The Kremlin’s goal is to destabilize Europe, and attacks on infrastructure are a preferred weapon, a new report said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Europeans leaders are scheduled to meet Monday with Trump at the White House.

One possible way security guarantees could be provided to Ukraine would be if Ukraine’s allies provided on-ground peacekeeping forces in Ukraine to supplement the Ukrainian army. Giles said that this option has been, until now, consistently ruled out by the US, and by European states without US backing.

European and NATO leaders are joining Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington on Monday to present a united front in talks with President Donald Trump. US special envoy Steve Witkoff on Sunday said Russia is open to the idea of the US and its European allies offering Ukraine a security guarantee resembling NATO’s collective defence mandate.

Putin agreed in principle with Trump on possible NATO-style security guarantees for Ukraine, envoy Witkoff said, though Rubio cautioned details remain unresolved as European leaders prepare for White House talks.

As the US president pointed out, "it was always thought that that Ukraine was a sort of a buffer between Russia and the rest of Europe"

During Alaska summit, Russia’s President also committed not to go after any additional Ukrainian territory, Witkoff says

The Prime Minister had arrived in Scotland on Saturday for a break, but was almost immediately plunged into frantic diplomatic efforts.

The US Secretary of State specified that European countries are using NATO to buy the weapons and transfer them to Ukraine
