‘US Will Back Ukraine’s Security,’ Zelensky on Possible Ceasefire with Russia
Diplomatic sources say that the terms of the draft have been finalized, and now only the date and place are yet to be entered in it.
New York: America's document guaranteeing Ukraine's future security is almost ready. Diplomatic sources say that the terms of the draft have been finalized, and now only the date and place are yet to be entered in it. That means the agreement is very close to being on paper.
For the last several weeks, US and Ukrainian officials were continuously discussing this document. Now indications are that it will be finalized soon.
Where is the important meeting of Russia and Ukraine going to take place?
On Sunday, February 1, representatives of Russia and Ukraine can meet in Abu Dhabi, the capital of UAE. America will play the role of mediator in this conversation. Experts say that this meeting is considered very important because a concrete decision can be taken in it to stop the war. Even before this, several rounds of talks were held, but no major result could be achieved.
What did President Zelensky say?
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is on a visit to Lithuania, has given positive indications regarding the talks. He said that agreement has been reached between the two sides on most of the issues related to ending the war.
He says that some points are still open, but it is expected that they will also be agreed upon in the February 1 meeting. Zelensky also made it clear that Ukraine will not compromise its security and sovereignty in any agreement.
What will happen after signing the agreement?
If Russia and Ukraine sign the agreement in Abu Dhabi, then this document will be sent to the US and Ukrainian parliaments. There the MPs will discuss it, and the process of approving it will begin. After getting the approval of the Parliament, it will be signed by the presidents of both the countries. Only after this will the agreement be considered formally implemented.
Can this stop the war?
At present the eyes of the whole world are fixed on this meeting. This war that has been going on for three years has caused huge damage to Ukraine and international pressure on Russia has also increased.
If this agreement is successful, the hope of stopping the fighting may be strengthened. This will provide relief to millions of people who are still living under the shadow of displacement, inflation, and fear. However, the final decision will be taken only on the negotiating table. The Abu Dhabi meeting will decide whether this war will stop or continue further.
