The USA and EU are developing a defense plan for Ukraine: what security guarantees entail.

"Ukraine is one of the powerful armies in Europe among allies, but it has not been able to push the Russians out in style during World War I."

Kyiv hopes to join NATO and take advantage of the collective security guarantees from the world's most powerful military alliance. However, this is a red line for Vladimir Putin, who sees it as a threat to his borders. The alliance is developing a military plan that would satisfy Putin while deterring further Russian incursions. The plan must also align with the domestic policies of each ally.

"Steve Witkock, Trump's peace ambassador, said last weekend that security guarantees could represent 'defense like Article 5'."

NATO's Article 5, which calls for mutual assistance, could play a significant role in the protection plan. Various options for ensuring security are being considered, from air defense and naval protection to supporting Ukrainian forces with training and equipment. Despite Trump's reluctance to send troops on the ground, the USA is considering the possibility of providing air support to Ukraine. This may include long-range strikes and establishing a potential no-fly zone over the country.

"America has the most powerful air force in the world and has already deployed 35,000 troops in Europe, who are operating over 200 aircraft from bases in the UK, Italy, Turkey, and Germany."

Furthermore, the USA may offer a wide range of military equipment from air defense systems to modern missiles and artillery to help Ukraine protect its borders. European countries are ready to deploy troops as part of a 'Coalition of the Willing' to ensure an agreement in Ukraine. A small international force of military instructors could be stationed in Ukraine to support its armed forces.

"A military expert said that sending a 'trigger force' as a preventive act could be a more realistic approach."

While the prospect of international peacekeeping forces remains uncertain, the main focus remains on ensuring Ukraine's security and deterring Russian aggression. Plans to protect Ukraine from Russian aggression include deploying troops, providing air support, jointly ensuring security, and supporting the Ukrainian armed forces. Ukraine hopes to join NATO and have collective security guarantees from a powerful military alliance.
