Promise of NATO-style security guarantees for Ukraine may be too good to be true
Thursday, 21 August 2025 () It all sounded so promising: A NATO-style mutual defence guarantee for Ukraine, provided by the US, and agreed to by Vladimir Putin.
Treasury Minister Torsten Bell says “significant progress” has been made in the Ukraine peace talks and that providing security guarantees to Ukraine will “strengthen their hand in the negotiations”. It comes after President Trump promised to provide Ukraine with “very good security...
Russia escalated tensions ahead of a key Trump–Zelensky–Putin tri-meeting by launching a deadly strike on U.S.-owned Flex Ltd. in Ukraine. The attack used a mix of drones, cruise missiles, and advanced Kinzhal hypersonics, overwhelming Ukrainian air defenses. At least 15 were injured as missiles tore through the Flex plant in Mukachevo, forcing 800 night-shift workers into shelters. Analysts warn Putin’s use of unstoppable hypersonic missiles signals a show of force meant to provoke Trump and humiliate Ukraine’s defenses.

The United States has signaled a dramatic shift in its Ukraine policy, with Politico reporting that Washington plans to play only a minimal role in Kyiv’s long-term security guarantees. U.S. Defense Policy Undersecretary Elbridge Colby told European counterparts during Aug. 19 talks that the burden of ensuring Ukraine’s safety will fall on Europe, not America. The news follows President Donald Trump’s high-profile meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. Despite Trump boasting of progress in peace negotiations, he made clear that U.S. troops will not be deployed in Ukraine to uphold any deal. European leaders, alarmed by the prospect of carrying the bulk of responsibility, fear being left “back to spring’s coalition of the willing.” As NATO prepares for further discussions, Trump has floated a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky to seal a potential settlement.

In a dramatic claim, U.S. President Donald Trump has declared that the threat of World War III is now off the table, despite Russia’s massive aerial bombardment striking dangerously close to NATO territory. Speaking on a podcast, Trump said the Ukraine war was “raging” and “heading to World War III” when he took office earlier this year, but he insists his diplomacy with Vladimir Putin has pulled the world back from the brink. His remarks come just days after hosting Putin in Alaska for face-to-face talks, followed by Zelensky and European leaders meeting him in Washington. While the White House hails “light at the end of the tunnel,” Russia continues to pound Ukraine with drones, missiles, and glide bombs near NATO borders. With Putin striking Odesa and NATO jets scrambling, Trump’s bold claim of preventing WW3 raises questions: is peace closer, or is the world still on edge?
