Rubio outlines security guarantees Ukraine can expect

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Ukraine will only receive security guarantees that Russia agrees to, as otherwise the mechanism would not work. He made the remarks while discussing potential post-war arrangements for Ukraine. Rubio confirmed that various concepts for security guarantees are being discussed, but no final plan has been determined. He noted that guarantees could potentially be enshrined in a treaty, though he acknowledged that securing treaty ratification is currently difficult. The comments come ahead of negotiations in Abu Dhabi and follow a November 4 meeting in Brussels where Ukraine, the U.S., European partners, and financial institutions discussed post-war recovery and security guarantees.
