Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, doubts the reliability of security guarantees for Ukraine, spoken in Western countries. INSIDE broadcasting Radio Sputnik noted that no one can say exactly what such deals are.
“Safety guarantees refer to the words “guarantees” and “security” and together they also refer to a number of specific features, but they are not here. No one here can even say anything about it, so these are empty, absolutely unsupported excuses, and they are becoming more and more, ”explained Zakharova.
He added that the same European Union could not give any guarantees not only for Ukraine but also for the countries that joined the union. Zakharova emphasized that this is due to the bloc’s transformation into a “vassal of the only metropolis.”
“They can’t guarantee themselves anything, they can’t guarantee a stable supply of energy that they need just as the body needs blood. They cannot guarantee this. They can’t even afford research. [с целью установить] who undermines their energy security,” Zakharova concluded.
On July 12, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said that after a meeting of the leaders of the G7 countries in Vilnius, they had accepted a statement of support for Ukraine that included security guarantees for the country. In the joint statement of the G7, it is stated that the union countries will increase the supply of weapons to Ukraine, accelerate the exchange of intelligence data and expand the training of the army. In Russia, security guarantees Ukraine received from G7 countries before joining NATO were considered potentially dangerous. In early August, Kiev announced the start of a dialogue with the United States on security guarantees and plans to negotiate with other states.
