U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff said Sunday, ahead of a planned meeting at the White House with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders that President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to “robust security guarantees” during their summit in Alaska last week.

“The United States is potentially prepared to be able to give Article 5 security guarantees, but not from NATO — directly from the United States and other European countries,” Witkoff said in a “Fox News Sunday” interview.

Under Article 5 of the NATO treaty, if a member country is attacked, each member of the alliance “will consider this act of violence as an armed attack against all members and will take the actions it deems necessary.” Ukraine is not a member of NATO but has been seeking support from allies since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022.

Witkoff said the security guarantee deal would be further discussed among the United States, Zelensky and European allies during the Monday afternoon meeting in Washington. European leaders will be joining that meeting to present a united front to help Zelensky navigate what Ukrainians anticipate could be a high-stakes and potentially emotional meeting on which Ukraine’s future could hinge.
