CNN pointed to the possibility of the United States providing UAVs to Kiev with security guarantees.

The United States is considering the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as part of ensuring Kiev's security guarantees. CNN reported this on August 22, citing an unnamed European diplomat.

The media notes that possible air support has become the main topic in the discussion of Ukraine's security at the White House.

"There is some concern in the Trump administration about the involvement of American pilots in manned air support missions over Ukraine, which is why there is a greater openness to performing air support missions using unmanned aircraft," the media reports.

Another informed source said that American drones may not be very effective, as they are too slow when "taking off on alert." Therefore, European countries will have to allocate additional aircraft if the United States restricts itself to providing drones.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has notified European security advisers that Europe must take a leading role in ensuring Kiev's security, the TV channel said.

On August 21, the Reuters news agency, citing the US military, reported that the United States and a number of European countries had finalized proposals on security guarantees for Ukraine. According to Reuters sources, one of the options was to send European troops to the territory of Ukraine, with the United States commanding and controlling them.

At the same time, American political scientist Malek Dudakov noted that the United States would not assume any obligations to protect Ukraine within the framework of providing security guarantees. According to the expert, potential agreements will be vague. According to Dudakov, the United States is ready to promise the Europeans air support if they can assemble their peacekeeping contingent and send it to Ukraine.
