Negotiations on providing Ukraine with security guarantees from the G7 countries will probably not be completed until 2024.
This is reported by The Wall Street Journal.
It is indicated that The US and UK are now actively negotiating on this issue.
At the same time, according to a French official, France plans to start the first round of negotiations with Ukraine on bilateral security guarantees in the coming weeks.
< p>Germany has just begun to analyze possible ways to support Ukraine, and it is not yet clear what specific agreements will be reached with other countries.
The WSJ believes that the lack of bilateral agreements between allies could become a key problem in providing security guarantees for Ukraine. In addition, it may also reduce the effectiveness of military assistance to Kiev.
During the July NATO summit in Vilnius, the G7 countries agreed on a Joint Declaration on support for Ukraine and steps to protect against possible new Russian aggression. We are talking about security guarantees that cover immediate consultations and providing Ukraine with everything necessary for defense in the shortest possible time.
In the future, Ukraine will sign a separate bilateral agreement with each guarantor country.
