Declared security guarantees confirm that Ukraine does not want peace, - Lavrov

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is convinced that if the Ukrainian delegation arrived at the negotiations in Abu Dhabi with the previously announced security guarantees, this once again confirms that Ukraine allegedly does not really need peace with the Russian Federation.

His statement is quoted by Russian media, according to Censor.NET.

Security guarantees for Ukraine

"I don't know what will be proposed to our delegation in Abu Dhabi. Yesterday, I discussed with them the security guarantees that [NATO Secretary General] Mark Rutte spoke about yesterday at the Council in Kyiv. If this is what the Ukrainians came to Abu Dhabi with, then this is further confirmation that Zelensky does not want peace," said the Russian Foreign Minister.

We would like to remind you that NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte recently announced that after the conclusion of a peace agreement with Russia, the forces of the "coalition of the willing" will be deployed in Ukraine on land, at sea, and in the air. At the same time, he noted that the rest of the NATO countries will provide support in other formats.
