Quote: "The topic of Ukraine's accession to NATO – we have a very negative attitude. This topic directly correlates with the statement that the countries of the "Great Seven" today will provide security guarantees and voice this fact in relation to Ukraine. We consider this extremely erroneous and potentially very dangerous.

By providing any security guarantees to Ukraine, these countries ignore the international principle of indivisibility of security...By providing security guarantees to Ukraine, they are encroaching on Russia's security."

Details: Peskov, typically for Russian propaganda, added that he considered NATO an "offensive alliance" that was "dangerous".

Background: On 12 July, the G7 countries prepared long-term security guarantees for Ukraine, which they called "historic" and "a step towards ending the current phase of the war".
