The United States has informed European allies that it is prepared to provide air power and intelligence support to a European-led security force that would deploy in Ukraine once a peace agreement is reached, the Financial Times reported, citing European officials familiar with the talks. Washington’s offer covers so-called “strategic enablers” such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platforms, command-and-control networks and air-defence assets. The package would supply the surveillance, air cover and logistics needed to protect European troops on the ground, while avoiding the deployment of U.S. ground forces. The proposal signals a shift in President Donald Trump’s Ukraine policy toward a supporting role that could reassure Kyiv and NATO members while aiming to limit direct confrontation with Moscow. Details on the size, mandate and rules of engagement for the postwar force are still under negotiation among Western capitals. Draft security plans being discussed also envision a demilitarised buffer zone in eastern Ukraine patrolled by neutral peacekeepers, backed by fortified Ukrainian positions trained and armed by NATO. European officials said the availability of U.S. air and intelligence assets is considered pivotal to making any such arrangement viable.
