Ukraine needs effective security guarantees that work under all conditions – Mykhailo Podoliak
The situation regarding the Russian invasion
Immediate ceasefire and withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine are among the key aspects of the peace agreement that could be signed as a result of negotiations with Russia on the war against Ukraine. But in fact, our state must have a specific mechanism that guarantees its security strategy in the future.
About this said Adviser to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podoliak in an interview with WP Wiadomości.
“Immediate resolution of the fire and immediate withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine is one of the key aspects of the peace agreement. Otherwise no way. However, the negotiations are a large-scale process in which not only Russia and Ukraine are involved. Our partners are also indirectly involved. Because we don’t just have to sign a contract. We want to develop a specific mechanism that guarantees our security in the future, “he said.
Mykhailo Podoliak decided that the Ukrainian and Russian delegations are still defending their positions at the talks, so it may take some time to agree on the disputed issues. Unfortunately, the process is not as fast as we would.
“During this time, I need to move closer to a peace agreement. First of all, taking into account the interests of Ukraine, which knew of the huge destruction by the Russian Federation, “he stressed.
Adviser to the head of the President’s Office is convinced that after the signing of this agreement, Russia will have no choice but to begin the immediate withdrawal of its armed forces from Ukraine.
Mykhailo Podoliakyv noted that in order to protect itself from another violation of international law and treaties by Russia, Ukraine wants to continue in detail in terms of a specific plan for the withdrawal of Russian troops, legally verify it, and receive support from international partners.
In his opinion, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has shown that the entire architecture of European security must be revised. That is why our state wants to end this war with a new coalition, in particular strongly that it will stop Russia if it wants to attack someone again.
The adviser to the head of the President’s Office said that Ukraine would not agree to a compromise that could harm its interests in any way. And not to earn such compromises, Ukrainians are now dying on the battlefield and ready to fight to the end.
Mykhailo Podolyakuyu noted that despite all the complexity of this process, Ukraine must enter into negotiations with Russia, together with our state it does not want anyone else. We just have to understand that negotiations during the war are just another front line.
