Ukraine made a bid Tuesday to shore up its defenses to dissuade future attacks as it negotiates a peace deal with Russia. Russian forces invaded Ukraine nearly five weeks ago, launching over 1,370 missiles, killing thousands and displacing millions. Though the U.S. and NATO allies repeatedly condemned the illegal invasion, hit Russian with crippling sanctions and provided billions in aid to Kyiv, the international community refused to get involved militarily over fears it could spark a global war. In its latest proposal during peace negotiations with Russia, Ukrainian negotiators demanded security guarantees that would further dissuade Moscow or other aggressors from future invasions. «Today we came up with an official proposal for a new system of security guarantees for Ukraine,» head of Ukraine’s delegation and negotiating team David Arakhamia said. «We insist that this must be an international treaty signed by all countries – guarantors of security. «We want it to be a working international mechanism of concrete security guarantees for Ukraine,» he added.
