NATO military chiefs held talks on Wednesday to discuss possible security guarantees for Ukraine as ceasefire efforts with Russia continue. Defense leaders from 32 member states joined the video meeting, along with US General Alexus Grynkewich, according to Al Jazeera.

European allies, backed by 30 countries including Japan and Australia, are considering a multinational force to support any peace deal, though its structure and the US role remain unclear. President Trump has ruled out sending American troops, while Moscow has warned it would reject NATO forces in Ukraine.

Tensions also flared on NATO’s eastern border after Poland reported a suspected Russian drone crash. Warsaw’s defense minister called it a deliberate provocation at a sensitive stage in peace discussions, Al Jazeera reported.
