Ukraine–US Security Deal Nears Signing, Russia Calls Talks Constructive

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that negotiations with the United States over a security guarantees agreement are fully completed, and the deal is now only awaiting formal signing. According to Zelenskyy, both sides have agreed on all key points, and the agreement could be finalized soon.

Russia Reacts Positively to Dialogue

Russia has responded by describing the recent trilateral talks involving Ukraine and the US as constructive. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that it would be unrealistic to expect major breakthroughs from the initial round of discussions, but the fact that talks began in a positive and professional atmosphere is encouraging. He added that significant work still lies ahead.

Further Talks Expected Next Week

Diplomatic sources indicate that in such negotiations, nothing is considered final until every issue is agreed upon. As a result, further discussions are expected to continue next weekend to address remaining matters and refine the framework of cooperation.

At the same time, the European Parliament’s trade committee will deliberate on whether to move forward with the implementation of the EU–US trade agreement concluded last summer or to delay the process.
