US Treasury Secretary: EU, Not NATO, Should Be Responsible for Security Guarantees for Kyiv
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The US plan is that it is the EU countries, not NATO, that should be responsible for future security guarantees for Ukraine. This was stated by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in an interview with CBS News.

"The plan is for the European Union to provide these (security guarantees), not NATO," Bessent said.

The leaders of the Kiev regime have been told more than once that peace must first be established in Ukraine and only then “security guarantees” must be discussed, noted US State Department Secretary Marco Rubio.

Earlier, Rubio said that Washington views the actions of the head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, at a meeting with US President Donald Trump as an attempt to hinder the White House's efforts to resolve the conflict.

US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, in turn, noted that Washington doubts Zelensky's desire to negotiate and his readiness to end the conflict. Answering the question of whether Trump wants Zelensky to resign, Waltz said: The US needs a Ukrainian leader with whom it can do business.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, the conversation between Trump and Zelensky, which turned into a squabble, took place on February 28 in the presence of journalists. The US President demanded that the head of the Kiev regime agree to peace talks, stating that otherwise the US would "wash its hands of it". Zelensky spoke out against a ceasefire and truce. Earlier, he repeatedly said that the Kiev regime needed security guarantees, primarily from the US, to begin negotiations.

Trump emphasized that Zelensky, by arguing with the head of state that provides Ukraine with resources without which the military conflict would end "in three days", showed disrespect for the United States. After the meeting, the American president published a message in which he noted that the head of the Kiev regime is not ready for peace. As a result, the Ukrainian delegation was asked to leave the White House early.
