Trump floats conditional security pledge to Ukraine

"U.S. President Donald Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders that the Washington was willing to contribute security guarantees for Kyiv with some conditions, Politico reported, citing three people familiar with the Aug. 13 virtual

conversation.
The virtual meeting, arranged by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, aimed to coordinate the allies positions ahead of the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska on Aug. 15.
According to a European diplomat, a British official and a person briefed on the call, the U.S. is willing to play some sort of role in providing Kyiv with the means to deter future Russian aggression if a ceasefire is reached. However, this would not be part of a NATO commitment.
Trump also made clear that the U.S. would not continue to provide weapons or troops directly to Ukraine, though he would sell weapons to Europe to be used by Kyiv." KI
