Ukraine and Russia held talks in Turkey: results

Representatives of the Ukrainian delegation at a briefing in Istanbul spoke about a draft agreement with Russia that could end the war. It concerns international security guarantees.

This was announced by the head of the delegation David Arahamiya.

He noted, that now Ukraine is not signing anything with Russia. The Russian side has received the project and must now give its answer.

“We are not signing anything, nothing at all now. At the moment, there is the issue of international security guarantees for Ukraine – working, specific and not such as the ineffective Budapest Memorandum”, – he said.

Ukraine wants to get an international agreement, according to which in case of danger to Ukraine, all guarantors within 3 days will have to decide on effective steps. These include closing the sky over Ukraine, military and defense aid. Among the guarantor countries, Ukraine wants to see Russia, China, the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Italy, Germany, France, Poland and Israel. According to Arahamiya communication, some of these countries have already given their prior consent.

At the same time, in the project it is registered, that Ukraine is joining the European Union and the guarantors must contribute to this in every possible way.

Security guarantees will temporarily not work for the occupied territory of Donbass and Crimea. The status of Crimea will be fixed between Russia and Ukraine and will be the subject of discussions for the next 15 years – in case of provided no combat status. The issue of territory of Donbass is made in a separate paragraph, which will be discussed directly between the Presidents of Ukraine and Russia.

This agreement necessarily must first be approved on a referendum by Ukrainians and then ratified by the parliaments of Ukraine and the guarantor countries.

If the treaty is ratified, Ukraine will be a neutral and out of block non-aligned country.
