U.S. Pledges to Provide Ukraine with Security Guarantees for the First Time
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.S. pledged to provide Ukraine with security guarantees for the
first time, which include binding commitments to come to Kyiv's aid if
Russia attacks again. The pledge came at a summit in Paris of Ukraine's
European allies attended by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and President
Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. French and British officials also
signed a declaration to deploy troops to Ukraine after a ceasefire.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian authorities say an overnight Russian attack on Kyiv
Monday killed at least two people.
