“I will make a small announcement: we are starting the relevant negotiations with the United States next week. Security guarantees for Ukraine will be concrete and long-term commitments that will ensure Ukraine’s ability to win now and deter Russian aggression in the future. These will be clearly described formats and mechanisms of support”, – reported Yermak
According to him, “these guarantees will be valid until Ukraine becomes a member of NATO.”
Yermak noted that more than ten other countries joined the declaration. With those who supported the declaration, Ukraine will conclude a system of bilateral agreements that will contain specific security guarantees.
“We are already working on bilateral agreements with each of these partners,” he said.
The head of the President’s Office emphasized that security guarantees are an important prerequisite for the recovery and development of communities, regions and the entire country.
“Hope and confidence in the future are extremely important for all Ukrainians, who are having an extremely difficult time in these months of the terrible war. Building a system of documentary guarantees of international support will be a powerful positive signal for domestic business and international investors,” he summarized.
