Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that Ukraine will defend itself from the Russian Federation, even if the West & # 8220; will stagger & # 8221;.
The minister wrote on his Twitter that Ukraine has been defending itself against the ongoing Russian aggression for almost eight years, despite the fact that it is not a NATO member.
& # 8212; We are able to defend ourselves. If the West staggers and chooses appeasement, we will still defend ourselves, our right to exist and the future, & # 8212; wrote the head of the Foreign Ministry.
As reported, on December 17, the Russian Foreign Ministry published draft agreements between Russia and NATO and the United States on the so-called “security guarantees” that the Kremlin demands from the Alliance and Washington.
Russia invites NATO countries to undertake legally formalized obligations that will prevent NATO expansion, including the accession of Ukraine, as well as other states.
In addition, Moscow proposes to abandon any military activity on the territory of Ukraine, as well as other states of Eastern Europe, Transcaucasia and Central Asia, that is, on the territory of post-Soviet countries.
As the Foreign Minister noted earlier, Ukraine is able to promote its own agenda and initiatives, create a system of alliances, and not just “knocking on the door” asking for help.
In this regard, Kuleba listed three key “nots” that will guide Ukraine in its foreign policy strategy. The point is, in particular, that our state should not critically depend on partners in solving problems.
