President Trump is offering US pilots and warplanes as part of security guarantees for post-war Ukraine, as he seeks an end to Russia’s war against the country. The US will assist Europe in crafting security guarantees for Ukraine to prevent any peace deal with Russia, in lieu of Ukraine joining NATO, a red line for Russia. Trump has tasked his national security team to create a framework for these security guarantees, allowing the president to use military options he has at his disposal. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte praised Trump’s willingness to involve the US in security guarantees for Ukraine as a “breakthrough” in the peace process. The possibility of air support could involve American pilots in defensive operations, guarding against Russian missiles, or providing support for other aircraft, such as air-to-air refueling or military equipment transportation. Defensive operations could potentially risk a confrontation between the US and Russia, a scenario both Trump and former President Biden have been anxious to avoid.
