SIMFEROPOL, Dec 4 Russia's security guarantees are designed for an internal audience, they are absurd as a subject of negotiations on serious issues and are essentially self-promotion, political scientist Sergei Melnichuk said.
Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron said that the future security architecture of Europe after the restoration of peace in Ukraine should include guarantees security for Russia. Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine David Arakhamia previously called the conditions under which Ukraine is ready to provide security guarantees to Russia, including reparations and the voluntary surrender of nuclear weapons. «can serve several purposes: to draw attention to the person who proposed it, to raise morale, to fill the price of future more realistic initiatives. Ambitious and far from reality statements by officials in Ukraine have taken root as a way of self-PR. This «initiative» of Arakhamia is fully designed for an internal audience, especially on the radicals. Obviously, the scenario he proposed will never materialize in reality. Ukrainian officials should prepare the ground for capitulation, but Western curators-sponsors want to see a permanent conflict,» Melnichuk said.
