Ireland may become guarantor of Ukraine's security

Ireland may become one of the guarantor states of Ukraine's security, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with Fox News.

"We do need guarantees of security from leading nations and the Russian Federation understands that we may have arguments about this or that country. But among the key states there have to be guarantors and those can be members of NATO and those outside it. We are talking about key players, consider key players of the world. But once again I'm saying that we want those countries that wanted join this openly. In addition, to the United States, the UK, Germany, France, Turkey. Why I named this list? This is not all of them. We would like to have China join it… I know [about] Israel and Ireland," the head of state said.

He said that so far he knows that several different countries want to be a member of this alliance among the security guarantors for Ukraine. Zelensky said that he only "named those countries, which have already said that they are prepared to be guarantors or those who we contacted and already exchanged some early drafts of the document."

In addition, Zelensky said that Russia also "needs to find a place in that agreement as well, because it will be an agreement between Ukraine and Russia," because they are a party to this war, the Russian Federation need to be bound by that treaty.
