Time to speed up security guarantee 'similar to NATO's', says EU Council chief

The European Council's president is talking about Ukraine's security now.

"Now is the time to accelerate our practical work to put in place a guarantee similar to NATO's Article 5 with continued United States engagement," Antonio Costa said.

But Ukraine's military has to be the "first line of defence", he added.

Costa said the main security guarantee - a key topic of discussion since Donald Trump's talks with Vladimir Putin on Friday - must be for Ukraine to have armed forces capable of defending its sovereignty.

He's also touched on the need to advance on trilateral talks - which would involve Trump, Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy - and on Ukraine's EU membership.
