About it informed Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak.
“Security guarantees are precisely the range of issues that the consultative group will work on under our joint leadership with Mr. Rasmussen, the former Secretary General of NATO. On July 1, he should visit Kyiv to launch the work of the group and introduce its first participants,” Yermak said. .

Also, according to him, a strategic group will be created to improve the coordination of support for the Ukrainian army, which will include representatives of the General Staff of the Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, as well as representatives of the military headquarters of the United States, Great Britain and other key partner countries.
“Our constant communication with the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny with National Security Adviser to the President of the United States Jake Sullivan and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Milley is yielding results. Ukraine is moving towards the rearmament of the army according to NATO standards. And this week, a discussion is scheduled at the Alliance’s summit in Madrid a new comprehensive package of military assistance to our country. We are counting on this support,” Yermak stressed.
Security guarantees for Ukraine: what you should know
As UNIAN reported earlier, on March 29, the first round of talks between the delegations of Ukraine and the Russian Federation took place in Istanbul. At these talks, Ukraine proposed signing an international treaty on a new security guarantee system for her.
It was reported that among the guarantors Kyiv sees the member countries of the UN Security Council, including Russia, the United States, Britain, China, France, as well as Turkey, Germany, Canada, Italy, Poland and Israel.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky noted: “We are very serious about that future document. And we are very balanced about the circle of partner countries that should not let us down. In any case and in any aggression. And everything can be in the future.”
The head of the Ukrainian delegation at the talks, David Arakhamia, said that it was very important for Ukraine to receive guarantees from the United States and Great Britain, but these countries would probably be among the last to join.
On June 27, President Zelensky took part via videoconference in a meeting of the G7 leaders’ summit. He again invited them to join the work on security guarantees.
