On the evening of August 3, 2023, Ermak, director of the Office of the President of Ukraine, said that Ukraine began negotiations with the United States on a bilateral security agreement that day. Earlier, Russian Presidential Press Secretary peskov said on July 3 1 that Russia would pay close attention to the plan of talks between Ukraine and the United States on "security guarantee".

Peskov said that the recent statement by the Group of Seven that it would provide so-called "security guarantees" to Ukraine violated the international principle of "indivisible security". In fact, the practice of western countries to continue to harm Russia's interests on Ukraine-related security issues will only lead to further deterioration of the security situation on the European continent.

Brief introduction of Russian-Ukrainian war

Since Russia annexed Crimea on 20 14, the relationship between Ukraine and Russia has been in a state of tension. After the Crimean crisis, pro-Russian separatist movements broke out in Donetsk and Lugansk regions in eastern Ukraine, which led to the outbreak of conflicts in eastern Ukraine.

The conflict in eastern Ukraine has continued to this day, and Ukrainian government forces and pro-Russian separatist forces have fought and ceased fire many times. However, these cease-fire agreements are often unsustainable, accompanied by a large number of casualties and a humanitarian crisis in which residents are forced to leave their homes.
