Security Guarantees Must Be Provided to Both Ukraine and Russia, Peskov

Security guarantees must be provided to both Ukraine and Russia: Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation, stated in an interview with RIA Novosti.

“What was one of the main reasons for this conflict? When the foundations of security guarantees for our country began to be violated, when Ukraine was drawn into NATO, and when NATO's military infrastructure began to approach our borders. And of course, these guarantees must be given to both us and the Ukrainians in the process of resolution,” added Peskov.

Furthermore, Peskov hinted that guarantees cannot be based on the presence of foreign military missions.
