Non-Aggression Pact with Russia: Why the Expert Calls It Only a Piece of Paper Guarantee.

According to ТСН: The non-aggression pact being discussed in the context of the peace plan looks more like a formality in American diplomacy than an effective means of protecting Ukraine.

This was stated by political scientist Volodymyr Fesenko in an interview.

The expert expressed skepticism about the legal strength of agreements with the Kremlin and emphasized the importance of real mechanisms for deterring the aggressor.

“All agreements with Russia are not worth the paper they are written on. This is an American approach — to have at least formal, paper guarantees,” said Volodymyr Fesenko.

The political scientist emphasized that for Ukraine, such a document does not matter if there are no specific obligations from partners.

Fesenko noted that the non-aggression pact can only be regarded as a supplement to a system of real safeguards and automatic response mechanisms to potential violations by Moscow.

“For us, this point is not fundamental. We insist on real security guarantees,” he concluded.

The expert believes that the main focus in negotiations should be on creating conditions that will make a repeat aggression from Russia impossible or too costly for the aggressor.

It should be noted that recently Fesenko outlined a condition under which any peace agreement with Russia would become impossible.

It was also reported that Moscow is carefully studying and analyzing the peace plan presented by Putin's special envoy Kirill Dmitriev. Further steps depend on the President of the Russian Federation.

Importantly, in the face of constant threats from Russia, Ukraine needs reliable security guarantees. Discussions about treaties and agreements with the Kremlin can only be part of a broader strategy aimed at ensuring stability and long-term peace in the region. Therefore, it is critically important to continue working on creating effective mechanisms to deter aggression.
