Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha stated that Ukraine has confirmation from the United States that they are ready to ratify future security guarantees in Congress. Sybiha said this during the Munich Security Conference, as reported by UNN.
The legal nature of future security guarantees, the strength of security guarantees, and consistency are important. So, if we talk about the legal nature of security guarantees, we have received confirmation from the American side that they are ready to ratify them in Congress. This is fundamental for us. And, probably, we have an almost ready draft of bilateral security guarantees, not assurances, for the first time in our history.
He noted that the second aspect of security guarantees is a military contingent.
Yes, the American side told us directly that they are not ready to deploy troops on the ground, and we understand that. They have other means to support us or to ensure our security. But with American cover on the ground. This is also the second fundamental element of the future security architecture. And personally, I do not believe in any effective security architecture in Europe without American cover.
