It is its return to the fundamental documents that framed its independence, sovereignty, and statehood. These stipulate a non-nuclear, neutral, and non-aligned status," Zakharova told reporters.These guarantees must be based, in particular, on the principle that no country has the right to strengthen its own security at the expense of the security of others, according to Lavrov.Lavrov emphasized that Russia had launched a special military operation in order to protect Russian-speaking people from the "openly Nazi" regime in Ukraine. https://sputnikglobe.com/20250902/putin-possible-to-find-consensus-on-ensuring-ukraines-security-guarantees-1122709515.htmlrussiaukraineindependenceSputnik International feedback@sputniknews.com +74956456601 MIA „Rossiya Segodnya“ 252 602025Sputnik International feedback@sputniknews.com +74956456601 MIA „Rossiya Segodnya“ 252 60Newsen_ENSputnik International feedback@sputniknews.com +74956456601 MIA „Rossiya Segodnya“ 252 601920 1080 true1920 1440 true1920 1920 trueSputnik International feedback@sputniknews.com +74956456601 MIA „Rossiya Segodnya“ 252 60Sputnik Internationalrussian foreign ministry spokeswoman maria zakharova, real security guarantees for ukraine, ukraine's non-nuclear and non-aligned status, russian foreign minister sergey lavrov
