Russia open to safety guarantees for Ukraine “in a form,” said Putin’s envoy after discussions on the White House – Politico

The hopes for an agreement have turned off, kyiv accusing the Kremlin of raping several times an agreement so as not to hit the infrastructure and the energy factories of the other shortly after his contact.

Addressing Fox News, Dmitriev argued that Ukraine had struck Russian energy objectives, but said that the talks in the White House had a “positive result” and conceded that the Kremlin could be opened to safety guarantees for kyiv.

“Some security guarantees in a form may be acceptable,” said Dmitriev, without specifying which ones. He excluded that Ukraine was joining NATO as “not at all possible”.

The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has long argued that security guarantees, such as membership in NATO or the United States and European Peace Soldiers on the ground in Ukraine, are the only way to ensure that Moscow does not attach again.

Dmitriev remarks are a departure from the usual positioning of the Kremlin. Putin said peace would only be possible if Ukraine undergoes a “demilitarization”, while his first diplomat, Sergey Lavrov, said that Moscow was “categorically” to European troops acting as peacekeepers.

Ukraine and its allies accused Russia of stone negotiations to end its three -year large -scale invasion by presenting a list of conditions and delay requests while wanting to be considered participant in peace talks.

Last month, Trump admitted that those of the Kremlin could “drag his feet” on a ceasefire and last week said that he was “pissed off” in Putin after the Russian called Zelenskyy to be ousted.

The members of the inner circle of Trump urged the American president not to accept a call from Putin until Moscow goes to a cease-fire, reported NBC on Thursday.
