KYIV: Ukraine is making progress in intensive talks to formalize legally binding security guarantees with the United States and European allies, a key part of its bid to end the war with Russia, First Deputy Foreign Minister Serhii Kyslytsia said.
A bilateral agreement with the United States remains vital, and US President Donald Trump’s recent commitment to participate in Ukraine’s defense was a “breakthrough moment,” Kyslytsia told Reuters in an interview.
“I think that we are making progress,” said Kyslytsia, a key negotiator with allies on security guarantees who also participated in all three rounds of direct talks with Russia in Istanbul earlier this year.
“I think this very intense period of exchange of views allows us to have a much better and concrete understanding of who is willing to do what and who is capable of doing what.”
