FT pointed to a change in the US position on security guarantees for Ukraine

The United States has seriously changed its position regarding the provision of security guarantees to Ukraine after the end of the conflict. The Financial Times (FT) newspaper wrote about this on August 28, citing sources.

"The United States is ready to provide intelligence assets and monitor the battlefield to any Western defense forces in Ukraine, as well as participate in the creation of a European air defense shield for the country," the material says.

The publication notes that this is a major change of position. According to the sources of the publication, US President Donald Trump has come to understand that in order to establish peace in Ukraine, the American side's contribution to ensuring its sustainability is necessary. The newspaper's interlocutors added that a security guarantee plan could be presented in the near future.
