Kyiv is enlisting Turkey and allied advisers to shape enforceable deterrence commitments.

Overview

  • President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said national security advisers are finalizing each component and the full security‑guarantees framework will be documented next week.
  • Zelenskiy held an extensive call with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and said Turkey’s defense minister will join talks to explore Ankara’s contribution, particularly for Black Sea security.
  • Ukraine’s national security chief Rustem Umerov is in Turkey to discuss the framework and bilateral defense cooperation, according to his public statement.
