Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President, Oleksandr Bevz, stated that future security guarantees for Ukraine will be signed directly by Ukraine, the US, and European partners. They will consist of several components, Bevz made this statement during a briefing.
According to him, this refers to a multilateral framework agreement. It will define how all guarantors interact with each other.
"It will be signed by Ukraine, the United States, European partners, and those non-European countries that wish to provide such guarantees. For example, Canada, which is present today. This framework essentially ties together how the guarantors will coordinate with one another," Bevz explained.
Specifically, the main elements of security are as follows:
-
The Armed Forces of Ukraine — the first and key line of defense;
-
Multinational forces led by Europe, which can be deployed in Ukraine and engaged in security on land, in the air, and at sea;
-
The American "backstop" — US support for these forces.
Currently, the military is coordinating the details of the so-called military component — both within the framework of the bilateral agreement with the US and with European guarantees.
