“Different states have different internal procedures and features. Therefore, it can be a large framework agreement on security guarantees, which will contain general principles, parameters and tools. It must be signed by all or most of the guarantor states,” he said.
According to Yermak, this agreement must pass all internal procedures, local legalizations, and ratification by parliaments.
“But on its basis, it will be necessary to conclude additional bilateral guarantee agreements with each guarantor state. They will contain more details and more specifics. And they must also be fully ratified by the signatory states. We strive to use the best experience of international law and our experience in working with partners before and after February 24,” he added.
Earlier, Head of the President’s Office Andriy Yermak named seven countries that had agreed to become guarantors of Ukraine’s security. These are the U.S., Great Britain, France, Germany, Turkey, Poland, and Italy.
