Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that discussing security guarantees for Ukraine without Russia is a path to nowhere. However, he allowed them to be provided by China and the United States.
This is reported by Russian media.
He reported that the Russian authorities are not opposed to China, the United States, Great Britain, and France providing security guarantees to Ukraine on an equal basis.
“Moscow agrees that Russia itself should provide security guarantees to Ukraine,” the Russian Foreign Minister said.
He added that seriously discussing security guarantees without Russia is “a road to nowhere.”
In addition, Lavrov stated that Russia proposed raising the level of representatives in the negotiating teams.
As a reminder, US President DonaldTrump has admitted the possibility of providing air support to Ukraine as part of a future peace agreement with Russia . At the same time, he confirmed that American troops will not participate in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine.
As reported, France, Great Britain and a number of other European countries plan to send a limited military contingent to Ukraine. This involves the creation of a so-called “deterrence force” that will include several thousand foreign military personnel.
By the way, about 10 countries have already expressed their readiness to send their troops to Ukraine , including the United Kingdom and France. The goal is to support the process of security guarantees after the cessation of hostilities, without going to the front line.
