Moscow has said it opposes one-sided options aimed solely at containing Russia
Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky has claimed that a complete framework of "security guarantees" for Kiev in case of a ceasefire or peace deal with Russia will be ready as early as next week.
In a Telegram post on Thursday, Zelensky said he had spoken with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, adding that they had "discussed the next diplomatic steps" to settle the conflict.
"There has been a lot of talk about security guarantees. National security advisers are currently working on the development of each specific component, and next week the entire configuration will be on paper," Zelensky added.
According to the Ukrainian leader, Erdogan involved his defense minister in the process to examine "how Türkiye can help guarantee security, including in the Black Sea."
Erdogan's office confirmed the call, saying Ankara would continue efforts to secure a "lasting peace" and stood ready to contribute to Ukraine's security once hostilities end.
Last week, Ukrainian First Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Kislitsa said Western officials were working on security guarantees, promising that a firstdraftwould be prepared by the end of August. He stressed, however, that Kiev "is categorically against trading our land for peace," although earlier mediareportssuggested that Ukraine could agree to concede territories to Moscow.
This week, Politico reported that European leaders were eyeing aproposalfor a 40km buffer zone between Russian and Ukrainian lines in a ceasefire scenario, potentially patrolled by Western troops. Another discussion reportedly revolved around involving aneutralthird country to oversee the enforcement of a truce.
Russia has said it is not against the concept of security guarantees for Ukraine, but stressed that any framework must involve UN Security Council members. Moscow has categorically opposed the deployment of NATO troops in Ukraine in any form, reiterating that it seeks to address the root causes of the conflict, including the bloc's expansion toward Russian borders.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has also criticized Western plans to limit the number of guarantor states to key NATO countries, adding that "the options proposed by the 'collective West' are one-sided and clearly aimed at containing Russia."
