Axios reports the Trump administration is ready to offer Ukraine a legally binding security guarantee modeled on NATO’s Article 5, to be approved by Congress.

Zelensky: We held a meeting of the “Coalition of the Willing”, a key format for Ukraine’s current and future security support. We're working to ensure that security guarantees include robust European deterrence components and are reliable. It's important that the U.S. stands with us in support.

No one wants to see a third Russian invasion. Right now, Ukraine's defensive support is especially critical, as Russia continues its attacks. More protection of lives is needed to give diplomacy a chance

🇺🇸 The US is threatening new sanctions on the International Criminal Court unless it pledges not to prosecute Trump or his top officials, Reuters reports.
