Press Secretary of the Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, stated that providing Ukraine with any security guarantees is extremely misguided and very dangerous, RIA News has reported.
"By providing any security guarantees to Ukraine, these countries are essentially ignoring the international principle of indivisibility of security. In other words, by providing security guarantees to Ukraine, they encroach upon the security of the Russian Federation," said the Kremlin representative to journalists.
According to him, this carries "very negative consequences" in any planning horizon. As reported by Amanda Sloat, Senior Director for Europe at the National Security Council in the White House, leaders of the G7 countries will announce long-term commitments to ensure Ukraine's security at the NATO summit in Vilnius on July 12.
The document envisages the provision of military equipment to Kyiv, strengthening of intelligence sharing, expansion of military training programs for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and the development of industrial capacities.
The second day of the two-day NATO summit is taking place in Vilnius today, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in attendance. The authorities in Kyiv have repeatedly stated that they will not accept any outcome of the meeting other than an accelerated admission to the alliance.
The Kremlin emphasizes that it is closely monitoring the situation and reminds that it was the orientation of the Kyiv regime towards joining NATO that became one of the reasons for the start of the military operation.
