German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock said that Germany is ready to provide security guarantees to Ukraine after the end of the war, German media reported.
“If guarantees are needed, then Germany will also be there (among the countries guaranteeing Ukraine’s security – IF-U) and will give guarantees,” Burbock said in the “Menschen bei Maischberger” program on the ARD TV channel.
“We stand in full solidarity and 100 percent with Ukraine,” Burbock said, noting that this applies to both the peace talks and the more recent peace order.
However, as noted by Die Zeit, the minister admits that the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia are not such that a breakthrough could be expected near. According to Burbock, when the Russian side talks about guarantees or neutrality, they mean something completely different than the Ukrainian side.
As reported, on March 29, Ukraine proposed signing a new international treaty on security guarantees, which would include an article similar to Article 5 of the NATO Charter.
