Western proposals only serve to destabilize the region, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Security guarantees for Ukraine must be the result of a settlement of the conflict with Russia, not a precondition for negotiations, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.<\/p>\n

Kiev has demanded security guarantees from its Western backers as a prerequisite to a peace deal. Moscow has not ruled out guarantees in principle, but opposes efforts to design them without Russia’s participation.<\/p>\n

At a press briefing on Friday, Zakharova said any guarantees must be based on an “understanding that takes into account the security interests of Russia.”<\/em> She added that a settlement must ensure Ukraine’s demilitarization, denazification, neutral and non-nuclear status, and recognition of the territorial realities.<\/p>\n

“It is necessary to understand that providing security guarantees is not a condition, but a result of a peaceful settlement based on eliminating the root causes of the conflict in Ukraine, which, in turn, will guarantee the security of our country,”<\/em> she said.<\/p>\n

Zakharova criticized the Western proposals put forward so far, warning they would only “lead to destabilization.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“The options proposed by the Collective West are one-sided, built with the obvious expectation of containing Russia… they increase the risk of NATO being drawn into an armed conflict with our country,”<\/em> she said, adding that they would “secure Kiev’s role as a strategic provocateur on Russia’s borders.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Kiev earlier pushed for NATO membership as a security guarantee, but US President Donald Trump <\/a>has ruled this out. Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky and his European backers have also called for “Article 5-like guarantees”<\/em> obligating the US-led military bloc to act if Ukraine is attacked. European policymakers have also considered sending troops to Ukraine as peacekeepers and creating a buffer zone with Western patrols. Moscow has rejected the deployment of NATO troops to Ukraine, whether as peacekeepers or otherwise.<\/p>\n

Moscow and Kiev have held three rounds of talks in the past three months, leading to major prisoner swaps. While a breakthrough has not been reached, US envoy Steve Witkoff said this week that Washington hopes to settle the conflict by the end of 2025, citing a “peace proposal on the table”<\/em> and ongoing contact with Russian and Ukrainian officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
