U.S officials say Washington has agreed to give Ukraine security guarantees in peace talks

U.S. officials say Washington has agreed to provide unspecified security guarantees to Ukraine as part of a peace deal to end Russia’s nearly four-year war, and more talks are likely this weekend. The officials spoke Monday following the latest discussions with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Berlin. Trump was expected to dial into a dinner Monday evening with negotiators and European leaders, and more talks are likely this weekend in Miami or elsewhere in the United States. Questions over Ukraine’s postwar security and the fate of occupied territories have been the main obstacles in talks.
