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. European leaders there said they and the U.S. committed to work together to provide “robust security guarantees” including a European-led ”multinational force Ukraine” supported by the U.S. They said the force's work would include operating inside Ukraine. Questions over Ukraine’s postwar security and the fate of occupied territories have been the main obstacles in talks.
