Axios correspondent Barak Ravid, whose outlet was among the first to report on the new U.S. peace proposal, published the full text of Washington’s draft security guarantees for Ukraine on his X account. The document forms part of the Trump administration’s initiative to bring an end to the Russian-Ukrainian war. Until now, the complete version of the guarantees chapter had not been available publicly; its substance had been known only from Western media reports. Ukraine is expected to receive these guarantees if it accepts the conditions set out by the United States. Under the administration’s vision, the guarantees agreement would be signed by Ukraine, Russia, the United States, the European Union and NATO.
Full Text of the U.S. Draft Proposal on Security Guarantees for Ukraine
This framework agreement sets out the terms of a cease-fire between Ukraine and the Russian Federation and outlines security guarantees grounded in the principles of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, adapted to the circumstances of this conflict and to the interests of the United States and its European partners.
The United States affirms that any significant, deliberate and sustained armed attack by the Russian Federation across the agreed line of contact into Ukrainian territory would be treated as an attack threatening the peace and security of the transatlantic community.
In such circumstances, the president of the United States, acting under constitutional authority and following immediate consultations with Ukraine, NATO and European partners, will determine the measures required to restore security. These measures may include the use of armed forces, intelligence and logistical support, economic and diplomatic actions, as well as any other steps deemed appropriate. A joint assessment mechanism involving NATO and Ukraine will review any alleged violations.
NATO members—including France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland and Finland—affirm that Ukraine’s security is an integral part of Europe’s stability and commit to acting jointly with the United States in response to any relevant breach, ensuring a unified and credible deterrent posture. This framework agreement takes effect upon signature and remains valid for ten years, with the possibility of extension by mutual consent. Compliance will be overseen by a joint monitoring commission led by European partners with U.S. participation.
