U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that security guarantees for Ukraine after the war must also be acceptable to Russia, or they will not work. Interfax-Ukraine reported his comments to the media, citing a video source. Rubio told reporters that Ukraine must feel safe after the war and that the guarantees must also be something Russia agrees to.
The remarks, as reported by Ukrainian outlets, describe the state of discussions on post-war security arrangements for Ukraine. Rubio said no final plan exists.
What Rubio said about the plan
Asked by reporters whether Kyiv could receive guarantees modeled on NATO Articles 4 and 5, Rubio said there is no finally approved plan, according to Interfax-Ukraine. He said various concepts for a post-war security architecture are under discussion and would be a key element of ending the war.
Rubio also said guarantees will be decisive for Ukraine to be able to agree to anything. Asked about enshrining such arrangements in an international treaty, he allowed that this was possible but noted that ratifying agreements requires complex procedures, Interfax-Ukraine reported.
