Ukraine's spy chief says Brussels talks zero in on real security guarantees
Ukraine's foreign intelligence chief Rustem Umerov says Thursday's meeting in Brussels centered on security guarantees for Kyiv, with France, Germany, the UK, the US and NATO at the table. A new European security strategy was also on the agenda, and Umerov insists guarantees must be a working system, not just words on paper.
Ukraine put security guarantees front and center in Brussels on Thursday. Rustem Umerov, who heads Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service, said in a Telegram post that the day's meeting was mainly about locking down real protections for his country.
Representatives from France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States and NATO joined the talks, according to Umerov. He said the group also took up a new European security strategy alongside the guarantees question.
Umerov drew a hard line between promises and machinery. In his words, it matters to Ukraine that security guarantees are not a political declaration but a real working system.
He didn't spell out what that system looks like just yet. Umerov said the details and the next steps will be revealed later, leaving the substance of any commitments under wraps for now.
The Brussels huddle puts five heavyweight players plus the alliance itself in the same room over Ukraine's long-term protection. For now, the only firm output is a promise of more to come.
