The Kremlin confirmed, on Wednesday, that granting Western security guarantees to Ukraine is very wrong and very dangerous, considering that this measure is an attack on Russia’s security.
Officials said the G7 nations will announce on Wednesday an international framework that would pave the way for long-term security guarantees for Ukraine to bolster its defenses against Russia and deter Moscow from any future aggression.
NATO leaders, currently meeting at a summit, announced on Tuesday that Ukraine’s future is within the alliance, but they refused to set a timetable for membership.
Ukraine is seeking to obtain commitments to achieve security at the present time and in the long term without entering into the alliance with the continuation of the war with Russia, given that Article 5 of the Alliance Charter stipulates that an attack on one member is an attack on all, which could put the Atlantic in a direct war. with Russia.

The alliance also refrained from providing military assistance from it as an organization to Ukraine, to avoid entering into a direct conflict with Russia, and was keen to leave the task to member and non-member states.
“The joint declaration, which is expected to be endorsed by all G7 members, will set out how the allies will support Ukraine over the coming years to end the war, deter any future attack and the means to respond to it,” the British government said in a statement.
The Group of Seven, which includes the United States, Germany, Japan, France, Canada, Italy and Britain as well as the European Union, will meet on the sidelines of the Atlantic Summit later in the day to announce the initiative.
Officials say countries such as Poland and Romania are likely today to sign a framework that will be open to other countries to make their bilateral commitments.
