Rubio: Ukraine security guarantees must be acceptable to Russia

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Western countries can only provide Ukraine with security guarantees that Russia agrees to, as preparations continue for trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi. Rubio stressed that ensuring Ukraine's security after the conflict ends is a key condition, but any arrangements must be acceptable to Russia, making the upcoming negotiations crucial. The final plan for Kyiv's security guarantees has not yet been agreed upon. Possible options include guarantees similar to NATO Articles 4 and 5, covering collective defense and consultations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky previously demanded a strong army and EU and NATO membership, but later suggested Russia could also receive security guarantees.
