Dream of security guarantees for Ukraine turns into plan with clear time frames – Yermak

The relevant statement was made by Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak on Telegram, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

According to Yermak, the dream of security guarantees for Ukraine is consistently turning into a plan with clear time frames.

“We are entering a new phase of this brutal war. Against the background of the events unfolding in the frontlines, it is time for our partners to take new decisive steps to guarantee Ukraine’s further security. These guarantees should form a new security order on the European continent and prevent a new war in its heart,” Yermak noted.

In his words, thanks to the joint efforts of the group members, a high-quality comprehensive project of recommendations was developed in less than two months of work.

“This document covers a wide range of guarantees: military, economic, political, sanctions. As soon as the final version is prepared, the document will be submitted for approval to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky,” Yermak added.

The future security guarantees should become part of legally binding documents, in particular, treaties between Ukraine and the guarantor countries, Yermak stressed.

In addition, Türkiye’s former Minister for European Union Affairs Volkan Bozkır joined the group as a new member. Now the group will work in a co-chair format with personal bilateral consultations with some members on certain issues.
