Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanar suggests nations like China and India could provide security assurances to Kiev.
Major non-Western nations have a crucial role to play in European security following the Ukraine conflict, according to Slovak Foreign Minister Juraj Blanar in a recent RT interview.
“Countries of the Global South should be one part of these [Ukrainian] security guarantees,” the minister said Tuesday at the Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi, a forum focused on geopolitics and geoeconomics. “Countries like China, Brazil, and India have presented peace proposals and are seeking involvement.”
Unlike some EU members, Slovakia doesn’t believe continued military aid will lead to a Ukrainian victory, Blanar stated. Therefore, Bratislava supports US President Donald Trump’s new strategy of restoring dialogue with Russia and ending the conflict through compromise.
Blanar said Slovakia believes a peaceful resolution in Ukraine would benefit everyone, meaning “all the stakeholders, like India, and China, and Brazil, the Global South, and also the countries of the European Union, should be around the table and securing this peace for the future.”
Moscow views the EU as hindering a resolution to the Ukraine conflict, pointing to the bloc’s commitment to supplying weapons to Kiev and its unwillingness to compromise with Russia.
