Highlights: The European Union is not a security organization, so it cannot give Ukraine such guarantees. This statement was made by the representative of the EU foreign policy service Peter Stano. Earlier in Kiev, they said that consultations on security guarantees for Ukraine with the signatory countries of the declaration in Vilnius will begin in August-September. He stressed that the European Union continues to support Kiev in several areas, but the issue of security guarantees is not within the EU's competence. The discussions about security guarantees are discussions for NATO and for individual countries, but not for the European EU as an organization.
