Europe Must Act: Security Guarantees for Ukraine Demand Immediate Action
Following a Paris summit of European leaders, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte declared Europe’s readiness to spearhead the provision of security guarantees for Ukraine, pledging significant investment in bolstering European security. This commitment, discussed amidst ongoing U.S.-Russia talks to end the war, includes exploring options such as Ukraine’s automatic NATO membership in case of Russian ceasefire violations. European concerns center on preventing a forced Ukrainian neutrality or a U.S.-Russia power-sharing agreement. Specific details regarding the security guarantees remain to be determined.
