‘Historic decision': Zelensky hails US offer of security guarantees to Ukraine
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday hailed the United States' offer of security guarantees as a 'historic decision', a day before his meeting with US President Donald Trump. Zelensky called the 'coalition of the willing' meeting on Sunday 'very useful'.(AP) This comes after US envoy Steve Witkoff hinted that the US was prepared to commit to security guarantees. 'Security guarantees as a result of our joint work must be truly very practical and provide protection on land, in the air, and at sea, and must also be developed with Europe's participation,' Zelensky said. He further called the 'coalition of the willing' meeting on Sunday 'very useful'. The meeting, held via video conferencing, was attended by a group of Ukraine's allies, including Britain, France and Germany. Zelensky said that all parties agreed that state borders must not be changed by force. The Ukrainian president reiterated the resolution of the key issues in the Russia Ukraine conflict in a 'trilateral format', which includes Russia, Ukraine and US. Trump could offer a NATO-like protection to Ukraine, and Russia is open to the idea, one of his top foreign policy officials told Reuters on Sunday. This comes before the meeting between Trump and Zelensky, who will be joined by the European leaders. 'We were able to win the following concession, that the United States could offer Article 5-like protection,' Witkoff earlier told CNN's "State of the Union" program. He said that the US can offer an Article 5 protection, adding that it was the first time that Russia had agreed to something like this. Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty regards an attack on any one of its 32 member nations as an attack on all. Witkoff hinted that a security guarantee of this scale could be extended to Ukraine in lieu of NATO membership, which Putin has objected to. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who had also accompanied Trump to Alaska for the summit with Putin, said in an interview with the CNN that the talks had 'made some progress'. 'Ultimately, where this should lead is to a meeting between the three leaders, between Zelensky, Putin and President Trump, where we can finalize, but we got to get this thing closer before we get to that point,' Rubio said.

As Trump Embraces Putin, Zelensky Storms Oval Office With Europe's Big 7 To Fight Ambush 2.0
Big Setback Awaits NATO, Zelensky: Trump Hints At Troop Cuts To Push Russia-Ukraine Peace In Alaska With the world's eyes fixed on Alaska, President Donald Trump readies for a high-stakes meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin — a conversation he calls 'good' but not the main event. That honour, he says, will go to a potential second meeting bringing Putin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and possibly key European leaders to the same table for the first time since the war began. Trump insists both Putin and Zelensky want peace — but warns this summit is no reward for Russia's actions. The talks could even open the door to bold moves, such as reducing US troops in Europe, to entice Moscow towards a deal. #TrumpPutinSummit #AlaskaSummit #UkrainePeace #PutinZelensky #GlobalDiplomacy #WorldNews #PeaceTalks #USRussiaRelations #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #UkraineWar #DiplomaticBreakthrough #WhiteHouse #Kremlin 5.3K views | 2 days ago

US keeps daily tabs on India-Pakistan, says Marco Rubio
Synopsis The United States closely monitors the situation between India and Pakistan. Ceasefires are fragile and require constant maintenance. Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlights President Trump's efforts in achieving peace globally. He cites examples like Cambodia, Thailand, India-Pakistan, Rwanda, and DRC. The US aims for lasting peace deals, not just temporary ceasefires. Reuters U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio attends an event at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., U.S., July 16, 2025. New York | Washington: The US keeps "an eye" on what's happening between India and Pakistan "every single day" as ceasefires can fall apart very quickly, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said."...the only way to have a ceasefire is for both sides to agree to stop firing at one another. And the Russians just haven't agreed to that. Beyond that, I would say that one of the complications about ceasefires is they have to be maintained, which is very difficult. I mean, every single day we keep an eye on what's happening between Pakistan and India, what's happening between Cambodia and Thailand," Rubio said. "Ceasefires can fall apart very quickly, especially after a three-and-a-half-year war (in Ukraine) like what we're facing now, but I don't think anyone disagrees that the ideal here, what we're aiming for is not some permanent ceasefire. What we're aiming for here is a peace deal so there's not a war now and there's not a war in the future," Rubio said in an interview to NBC News Meet The Press. In a separate interview with Fox Business, Rubio again mentioned the recent conflict between India and Pakistan that President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed he solved. "And I think we are very fortunate and blessed and should be thankful to have a President who has made peace and the achievement of peace a priority of his administration. We've seen it in Cambodia and Thailand. We've seen it in India-Pakistan. We've seen it in Rwanda and the DRC. And we're going to continue to pursue any opportunities we can find to bring about peace in the world," Rubio said.
