NATO foreign ministers agreed in Brussels on December 3-4 to enhance military support for Ukraine amid Russian advances.
Meanwhile, government circles have begun to explore various scenarios for negotiations to end the war, sources told the agency.
According to sources, Ukraine is being offered security guarantees that would not provoke Russian President Vladimir Putin.
One potential option for ending the war is the establishment of a demilitarized zone. A senior Western diplomat noted that in the event of a ceasefire, European troops could secure and patrol this zone.
Another high-ranking diplomat mentioned that these discussions are taking place against the backdrop of recognizing the fluid situation in Ukraine, but with the understanding that negotiations should commence soon.
Bloomberg highlights that Europeans are eager to demonstrate to newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump that they can propose relevant scenarios for ending the war.
Recall that NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte also promised to assist Ukraine in entering peace talks from a position of strength.
President Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged that Ukraine lacks the strength to reclaim all occupied territories through military means. He also wishes to involve representatives from the EU and NATO in potential negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.
At the same time, Ukraine has preemptively rejected any formats of security guarantees that may be proposed as an alternative to the country's NATO membership.
Earlier, Reuters reported, citing its own sources, that Trump’s advisors suggested Ukraine abandon the territories seized by Russia and NATO membership. Ukraine would be offered U.S. security guarantees, which could include increased arms supplies.
