Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Sunday that a long-awaited U.S. security guarantees document for Ukraine is fully prepared for signing. Kyiv is now awaiting confirmation of the time and location for the formal ceremony, according to Reuters.
Zelenskyy emphasized that security guarantees from the United States are the cornerstone of Ukraine’s postwar security framework. Once signed, the agreement will be submitted for ratification by the U.S. Congress and the Ukrainian parliament, ensuring its long-term legal validity.
The announcement was made during Zelenskyy’s visit to Vilnius, where he met with regional leaders to discuss European security challenges. The document, he said, reflects months of negotiations and aims to provide Ukraine with concrete security assurances without immediate NATO membership.
Zelenskyy previously indicated that the framework of the agreement was discussed with U.S. President Donald Trump during their meeting at the World Economic Forum in Davos. While details remain confidential, analysts believe the document includes commitments on military assistance, intelligence cooperation, and economic resilience.
The security agreement is unfolding alongside renewed diplomatic efforts to end the war. In recent days, representatives from Ukraine, Russia, and the United States held trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, focusing on Washington’s 20-point peace proposal. Although no breakthroughs were announced, all parties expressed willingness to continue negotiations.
Zelenskyy acknowledged that territorial issues remain the most contentious. Ukraine continues to reject any concessions regarding its eastern regions, while Russia insists on territorial demands. U.S. mediators are attempting to bridge the gap, though positions remain sharply divided.
If finalized, the U.S.–Ukraine security document could mark a significant step toward stabilizing the conflict and redefining the geopolitical balance in Eastern Europe.
