New Facts: Ukraine Needs Security Guarantees for Peace Deal

On December 29, 2025, Ukraine reiterated its demand for security guarantees as a crucial component of any peace agreement with Russia to end the ongoing conflict.

The call for these guarantees highlights Ukraine's concerns about future aggression from Russia, emphasizing the need for robust international support.

Experts suggest that while the U.S. may offer extensive commitments, such assurances might not effectively deter potential threats from Russia in the long term.

This demand for security guarantees comes amid ongoing discussions about the terms of a potential peace deal, which remains a complex and contentious issue.

There is currently no consensus on the specific nature or extent of the security guarantees that Ukraine is seeking, leading to varied interpretations of what might be feasible.
