WASHINGTON — President Trump has committed in principle to providing “security guarantees” to Ukraine to safeguard its frontier from Russia following a possible peace deal, The Post has confirmed.

The proposed security guarantees amount to a European-led peacekeeping initiative with America’s support, two sources familiar with the talks said.

Trump has not committed to sending US troops and previously ruled out NATO membership for Ukraine.

French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer offered to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine earlier this year, which would place on their nations’ shoulders the human and financial cost of shielding Kyiv after the US has already spent $200 billion since Moscow’s invasion began in 2022.

Russian President Vladimir Putin floated Friday during talks with Trump including Chinese troops, but appeared willing to accept Turkish troops as a compromise addition to the international force, a source said. Although Turkey is a member of NATO, it also has served as a Russian mediator.

The US has a mutual defense agreement with the UK, France and Turkey, meaning that their presence on the frontlines would offer a form of protection to Ukraine resembling NATO membership. Trump has adamantly rejected formal admission of Kyiv to the military alliance, which Putin vehemently opposes.

Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization maintains that if one NATO is attacked, it would be considered an attack on all 32 members of the group.

Ukraine would, as part of the hypothetical peace deal, cede land currently occupied by Russia and potentially additional parts of the Donetsk region.

Trump left talks with Putin earlier than anticipated Friday to call European leaders and Zelensky to discuss a possible full peace deal, rather than a cease-fire as originally planned.

“President Trump deserves immense credit for recognizing what the Biden administration refused to: this war is only going to end at the negotiating table,” said Dan Caldwell, a former senior adviser at the Defense Department.

“President Trump is pursuing a realistic diplomatic strategy that takes into account the difficult reality that Russia currently has a clear military advantage in the war, which can’t be easily reversed by NATO or Ukraine. Therefore, Russia doesn’t have much of an incentive to agree to a cease-fire prior to discussing a much larger peace deal.”

An agreement including peacekeeping forces would obligate Ukraine’s European allies to respond to any future attacks on the country, The Telegraph reported Saturday.

Putin allegedly agreed to the arrangement, according to The Telegraph.

But European leaders were trying to clarify what role the US would play under such an agreement, sources told The Economic Times.

The arrangement came after a series of calls between Trump, Zelensky and European leaders, the Agence France Press reported.

“As one of the security guarantees for Ukraine, the American side proposed a non-NATO Article 5 type guarantee, supposedly agreed with Putin,” a source told the AFP.

Word of the potential security guarantee came as it emerged that Zelensky will head to Washington, DC, to meet with Trump in the Oval Office on Monday.
