“Kyiv has recently learned not to trust the promises made by Western partners behind the scenes, and it is for this reason and for the sake of establishing peace in Ukraine that the Kyiv authorities are ready to sign a multilateral document with security guarantees,” the Ukrainian Defense Minister said. Alexey Reznikov noted “specific”.

In a statement, he explained: “Unfortunately, in 2014 there were such attempts by our partners, but it turned out that the signed agreements and the tools used to achieve this did not work,” adding: “A prime example” of this is the Budapest Memorandum, which outlawed Ukraine from the third place in the world in the list of nuclear arsenals and did not ensure their security, and pointed out that “Kyiv now does not trust any informal negotiations and protocols.”

“Only on condition that a new global security architecture is built, with clear guarantees of Ukraine’s security from partners we trust. Then the implementation of such a document will be possible and it should be multilateral,” Reznikov said.
