A package of security guarantees for Ukraine will take shape as soon as this week as leaders seize on President Donald Trump’s backing for a plan that involves sending European troops as part of a potential peace deal. 

After a White House summit on Monday yielded a firmer US commitment to guarantees, European leaders are looking to leverage Trump’s offer and place Kyiv in a stronger position ahead of a possible meeting between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskiy. 

A gathering of European officials on Tuesday focused on a plan to send British and French troops to Ukraine as part of a peace agreement, including the size and position of military personnel, according to people familiar with the matter. About 10 countries would be ready to send forces to the war-battered nation, they said on condition of anonymity. 

Bloomberg Washington Correspondents Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz deliver insight and analysis on the latest headlines from the White House and Capitol Hill, including conversations with influential lawmakers and key figures in politics and policy. On this edition, Bloomberg's Tyler Kendall and Michael Shepard are in for Joe and Kailey. They speak with:

  • Bloomberg National Security and Intelligence Reporter Natalia Drozdiak.
  • Former UK Ambassador to the US Sir Peter Westmacott.
  • Bloomberg Politics Contributor Jeanne Sheehan Zaino and BGR Group International Practice Principal Lester Munson.
  • Former Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technology in the Biden Administration Anne Neuberger.
