Poland to accept Ukraine security guarantor offer

Poland will accept the offer, according to the chief foreign policy advisor to the Polish president, and Ukraine has proposed that Poland join the group of countries that would act as a security guarantor for Ukraine.

Jakub Kumoch told a Polish website gazeta.pl that the administration of President Volodymyr Zelensky was the author of the draft for Poland to become a security guarantor for his country.

The president of Poland and the government, Andrzej Duda -- PAP, has made a decision that Poland will not shirk its responsibility, Kumoch said.

He said that the guarantor states are currently talking about a draft agreement. This is only the beginning of the road and one possible way to end the conflict. Kumoch said it was sent for consultation to the states that agreed to be the guarantors. If a peace agreement is to be reached, we are only interested in one that guarantees the territorial integrity of Ukraine and its independence, and only one that the Ukrainians agree to. There will be no support for any peace accord that would hand Ukraine over to Russia, Kumoch said.

He said that the guarantor states include the US, Great Britain, Poland, Germany, France, Turkey, and several other countries.
