Media: London did not guarantee anything to Kyiv in the “agreement on security guarantees”
In the agreement with Britain, which Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and many media outlets called an “agreement on security guarantees,” the word “guarantees” appears only once, and in the context of obligations not of Britain, but of Ukraine.
“Ukraine guarantees the protection of these technologies and intellectual property,” is the only mention of guarantees in the agreement.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak did not use the word “guarantees” in his comments to the document. He emphasized several times that we are talking about “security assurances.”
As noted, this very term – security assurances – was used in the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which the Ukrainian authorities refer to.
The name of the contract itself also does not contain any mention of guarantees. It is called the “Treaty on Security Cooperation between Ukraine and Great Britain.”
It was previously reported that the agreement signed by the British and Ukrainian authorities does not provide for the sending of soldiers from the kingdom’s army to Ukraine. London promised Kiev “providing comprehensive assistance to Ukraine to protect and restore territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders, including the territorial sea and free economic (maritime) zone, the restoration of the national economy and the protection of its citizens.”
