Overview

  • NATO military leaders will confer Wednesday on options for Ukraine, with Gen. Alexus Grynkewich briefing chiefs and Coalition of the Willing planning teams set to meet U.S. counterparts in the coming days.
  • A U.S.–European–Ukrainian commission led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio is drafting detailed guarantees, with sources saying a structure could emerge within days and reporting citing roughly $90–$100 billion in U.S. weapons financed by Europe under consideration.
  • President Trump has ruled out U.S. ground troops in any deal but says American air support is being evaluated as Washington coordinates a Europe-led security architecture.
  • Nordic countries and Canada voiced readiness to play an active role in a coalition-backed framework, with contributions to be defined and some partners discussing a potential reassurance force if hostilities end.
  • The White House is arranging a direct PutinZelenskyy meeting within weeks, as Kyiv targets about 10 days to finalize a framework and Russia reiterates its rejection of any NATO troop deployment in Ukraine.
