Negotiations on the security guarantees that Ukraine would receive from the US and Europe have made significant progress.

International media are quoting a senior US official as saying that the Trump administration is ready to offer Ukraine a guarantee based on NATO's Article 5, which would be approved by Congress and would be legally binding.

"We want to give the Ukrainians a security guarantee that is not a blank check on the one hand, but that is strong enough on the other. We are ready to put it to a vote in Congress," the US official told Axios.

A White House official noted that Zelensky’s openness to the possibility of Ukraine holding a referendum on a peace deal that includes the transfer of territory is considered “progress” by the United States. Organizing such a vote under current circumstances would be extremely challenging. But a U.S. official said that Europeans, during a virtual meeting on Friday, affirmed that if Zelensky proposed a referendum on territory, they would support it.

At the same meeting, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner discussed the plan for a demilitarized zone with the national security advisers of Ukraine, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. A White House official said those discussions, and the latest round of U.S.-Ukraine talks on Thursday, had shown enough progress to convince Trump to send Witkoff and Kushner to Europe. “They believe there could be a chance for peace, and the president trusts them,” a second White House official said.

Article 5 is one of the most important articles of the North Atlantic Treaty, which establishes the principle of collective defense. Article 5 of the NATO Treaty states that an armed attack against one NATO member shall be considered an attack against all. Since 1949, this unwavering promise has bound together a group of like-minded countries from Europe and North America, which have pledged to defend each other in a spirit of solidarity.
