When in Moscow they raised the issue of security guarantees, it was unclear what threatened the Russians, because they were the ones who attacked Ukraine, the President said.
Ukraine requires a security guarantee to clearly know that Russia is no longer attacking. President Vladimir Zelensky said at a joint press conference with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at Kyiv on Friday, August 22.
“Ukraine’s guarantees are required for us, our children, grandchildren know that Russia will not attack us. It is guaranteed security against aggression. Because the aggression is Russia. When Russia increases the issue of security guarantees, I honestly don’t know who threatens them. They attacked us …
Zelensky emphasized that European partners wanted the war not to be repeated, and “the only thing that triggered it was Russia.”
Meanwhile, according to him, Russia does not want to end the war, but puts the ultimatums and time delays.
“I think this is it: a week ago, or two weeks ago, it didn’t matter – Russia was where it was and located. He didn’t want to, and he didn’t, and it didn’t want to end the war today. He wanted to advance the ultimatums, thanks to the ultimatums to postpone the possibility of ending this war,” he said.
According to the President, the Russians do everything so that US President Donald Trump does not impose sanctions against them, and America does not give them the pressure he has.
Earlier this week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow is said to be “supporting” the provision of security guarantees in Ukraine. And states of guarantee can be regular members of the UN Security Council, including Russia and China. According to him, a discussion about any guarantee of security without Russia’s participation is a “path to nowhere.”
Meanwhile, the EU does not include Russia’s participation in Ukraine’s guarantees. This is said by the Supreme -Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of Kai Callas.
