NEW YORK (AP) — Special U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said Sunday that Russian leader Vladimir Putin agreed at his summit with President Donald Trump to allow the U.S. and European allies to offer Ukraine a security guarantee resembling NATO’s collective defense mandate as part of an eventual deal to end the 3 1/2-year war.

    “Style” — how about just letting them join NATO and be done with it.

      That might actually be effective, so I’m sure that Trump will be opposed to it, because it won’t please Putin to support it.

      Ukraine is not going to join NATO, ever.

      Something like this was said recently by Trump

        Sure, and Trump also said he’d pull out of NATO. So cementing it as “ever” while his own say on the matter is quite limited, makes me not give half a shit what he thinks.
