Deputy Foreign Minister of Poland Pavel Yablonsky said that it is a strategic mistake to believe that the Russian Federation has the right to demand any security guarantees from any security guarantees, WNP reports..

“It is extremely important not to in any way resort to such considerations that Ukraine will allegedly cede part of its territory to the Russian Federation or that Russia has the right to expect security guarantees from anyone... This is just a strategic mistake - such considerations. It is not Russia that needs security guarantees today, but Europe needs security guarantees from the Russian Federation,"

Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron said that the West should consider how to meet Russia's needs for security guarantees if President Vladimir Putin agrees to talks to end the war in Ukraine..

Recall that recently the Russians have been actively talking about the desire to negotiate, but do not demonstrate a real willingness to negotiate. Most experts and politicians in the West believe that in this way Putin and his entourage are trying to buy time to restore the exhausted army and start a new offensive in the spring.
