<h1>U.S., Ukraine, and European leaders revive peace talks offering NATO-style security guarantees short of membership to Ukraine</h1> The U.S. president hosted the Ukrainian leader and top European officials to revive stalled negotiations on ending the war with Russia, offering U.S. support for European-proposed security guarantees while excluding NATO membership for Ukraine. European leaders endorsed exploring NATO-style protections and a multinational force to backstop any peace deal, though Russia's acceptance remains uncertain. Leaders praised cooperation but acknowledged complex unresolved issues, including territorial concessions, the future of Ukraine's military, and enforceable guarantees against future aggression. Proposed next steps include trilateral talks among the U.S., Ukraine and Russia and further multilateral discussions to flesh out ceasefire terms and security arrangements.
