“We don’t need guarantors who don’t help Ukraine, and didn’t help Ukraine at the moment when we really needed it. We need security guarantees only from those countries that are ready to help us.”
Volodymyr Zelenskiy pushed back against Russia’s idea to add China as a security guarantor in the event of a ceasefire.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Aug 20 that reliable security guarantees for Ukraine can’t work without Russia and could also involve China, mentioning an accord drafted in Istanbul in the early stages of Moscow’s full-scale invasion. That accord was rejected by Kyiv, as it would have given Russia a veto over attempts by other guarantors to come to Ukraine’s aid if attacked.
Russia and China declared a “no limits” partnership just before Moscow’s full-scale invasion in 2022.
