Andriy Yermak, head of the presidential office, is holding talks with countries that Ukraine wants to see as signatories of security guarantees.. His adviser Mikhail Podolyak told about this during the Ukraine Media Center.

" Therefore, we can probably come to an understanding that there will be a meeting of the presidents in the near future. It is impossible to say exactly when, because this is already a logistical issue,"

It should be recalled here that at the end of last year, President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree stating that only three people can represent the interests of Ukraine in international negotiations: the president himself, the prime minister and the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that is, Dmitry Kuleba. This is also stated in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.. But nothing is known about Kuleba's participation in these negotiations either from the Presidential Office or their Foreign Ministry..

In addition, I wonder if the head of President Yermak's office has official directives from Volodymyr Zelensky to conduct such negotiations and consultations.. ZN. UA has contacted the OPU on several occasions to find out, but has not received a response..

Recall that the head of the legal group at the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, Alexander Chaly, said that security guarantees should be analogous to Article 5 of NATO. This means that an attack on our state will be considered an attack on all signatories.. Chaly noted that if they are agreed upon, our side agrees to permanent neutrality, non-alignment and non-nuclear. But nothing should contradict Ukraine's right to join the EU.

The head of the Ukrainian delegation, David Arakhamia, told whom Ukraine wants to see as signatories of security guarantees.

He also said that the document will not apply to the temporarily occupied territories of Donbass and Crimea, since issues regarding them have not yet been resolved..

Earlier, the United States announced its readiness to act as one of the guarantors of Ukraine's security.. Then the same was announced in Italy and Germany. At the same time, Deputy British Prime Minister Dominic Raab said that London would consider Ukraine's request, but he ruled out taking guarantees that NATO countries have..
