Military chiefs from the United States and a number of European countries on Thursday presented options to their national security advisers for providing security guarantees to Ukraine, officials said.

President Trump has ruled out putting U.S. troops on the ground if a deal is reached with Moscow to halt the war.

Russia launched a massive overnight assault on Ukraine, firing 614 projectiles in what marks the most extensive aerial strike in three weeks. The Ukrainian Air Force reported intercepting or electronically jamming 546 drones and decoys, along with 31 missiles. Despite these efforts, strikes landed in 11 locations, including in Western Ukraine.

Ukraine said Tuesday that overnight Russian airstrikes targeted energy infrastructure in the central Poltava region, just hours after a meeting between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, US President Donald Trump and senior European leaders in Washington.

The strikes come as Moscow continues rejecting calls for an unconditional ceasefire, instead intensifying its use of drones and missiles against Ukraine.
