Summary
Russia says there can't be security guarantees for Ukraine without its involvement. “If this is indeed the European position, and if they insist on this position, it would completely rule out the possibility of European countries participating in the settlement process,” he said. If the EU keeps insisting, it will exclude the European countries' participation in the settlement.
Furthermore, Merz said on Monday that the issue - central to attempts to end the 4-1/2 year war - should be decided by Ukraine and its partners, not by Russia. Ukraine says it needs guarantees from the West to protect it against future attack by Moscow, whose forces currently control around a fifth of its territory. “There are several countries with which we have close relations and which share this position, the position with which we strongly disagree.
