The US and Europe reached an agreement on Ukraine's security

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced at a Senate hearing that the United States and the European Union have reached a joint agreement on security guarantees for Ukraine. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to him, the existing “guarantee package” relies on two main pillars: a limited European military contingent and additional security guarantees from the US. Rubio provided a clear explanation on this: the European contingent is mainly based on French and British troops.

The US, meanwhile, will operate in the background, fulfilling the role of ensuring overall security. That is, Europe will act actively on the ground, while the US will play a supporting role.

Additionally, Rubio stated that Europe is not opposed to the plan to deploy troops to Ukraine after the war. However, he emphasized that this plan would be difficult to implement and sustain without US assistance.

According to the Secretary of State, the issue is not only related to Ukraine but also concerns the overall security system. European countries are currently unable to act fully independently without US support.

The reason is that sufficient funds have not been allocated for defense spending in recent decades. According to the model Rubio is proposing, Europe should take on more responsibility for security.

However, without Washington’s guarantees, this model is unlikely to become a fully reliable system. The main question now is how precisely this agreement will be planned: what kind of troops, in what format, for how long, and under what conditions will it be implemented?

These issues need to be clarified in the future.
