‼️🚨 RUBIO ON SECURITY GUARANTEES FOR UKRAINE: Any security guarantees would come into effect after the conflict ends. They would involve the deployment of European troops on the ground, backed by the U.S. Europe does not have the capability to provide a credible security guarantee without a U.S. backstop — which means the U.S. could potentially be committed in a future conflict. SENATOR (R) JIM RISCH: I understand you to say that the portion of the discussions regarding security for Ukraine is essentially agreed to by both sides? Because that’s news to me, and it’s big news if that’s a fact. SECRETARY OF STATE, MARCO RUBIO: I think you could argue they’re agreed to from our side of the equation, right. There’s obviously a Russian dynamic at play here. Of course, any security guarantees would come into play after the conflict were to end, so there’s that component to it. But the broader point I was making is that in all these discussions about security guarantees that people are putting out there, it’s pretty clear that the only security guarantee people keep pushing forward is one that involves the deployment of some European troops on the ground, but with a very strong U.S. backstop. In Europe, they don’t have the capability to provide a real security guarantee without a U.S. backstop, which tells you the capability gap that needs to be closed. And it’s one of the reasons why the president keeps pointing to NATO and the need for our partners to get stronger. And it is true — they’ve committed to 5% spending. That’s obviously going to take some time, but that’s really the broader point I was trying to make in that regard. But every notion of a security guarantee that’s been talked about and that the Europeans have pushed is one that requires a strong commitment by the United States as a backstop, which in essence means we would potentially be committed in a future conflict. And that’s something that I think needs to be understood in the context of what I’ve just described as the problems with NATO capabilities.
