Zelensky proposes system of security guarantees that will not allow new aggression

KYIV. Sept 22 (Interfax-Ukraine) – President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky proposed to create new security architecture for Ukraine, Europe and the world, based on security guarantees.

"Every nation has the right to security guarantees. Not only the largest nations. Not only the most fortunate ones. We have proposals to upgrade the security architecture for Ukraine, and for Europe and the world, which will not allow any more aggression against us. We are already presenting them to partners," he said on Wednesday, speaking via video link at the UN General Assembly.

"Proposals for legally binding multilateral and bilateral treaties. These are the conditions for the guarantors to act, and the timeline for their actions to bring results – results on land, at sea and in the air; in diplomacy and politics, in economy and finance, in providing weapons and intelligence. Each of you, who will receive the text of our peace formula will also see the details of what we offer as security guarantees," the president said.

"I do not want to compare our offers with the guarantees of any alliances that exist on the planet now. I want to stress that it is always much better to guarantee the security of a nation, preventively, rather than to stop a war after it has already begun," he said.
