Russia: will closely monitor the plans of Ukraine and the United States to hold talks on "security guarantees"
Previously, Russian President's press secretary Peskov stated on July 31 that Russia will closely monitor Ukraine's plans to hold talks with the United States on "security guarantees".
Peskov stated that the Group of Seven (G7) has recently stated that it will provide Ukraine with so-called "security guarantees", which goes against the international principle of "indivisibility of security". Western countries have actually continued to harm the interests of Russia in security issues related to Ukraine, which will only lead to further deterioration of the security situation on the European continent.
According to Reuters, the negotiations between Ukraine and the United States on security measures are a follow-up to the commitments made by the G7 at the NATO Vilnius summit in early July.
Andri Yermak, Director of the Office of the President of Ukraine, stated that providing security for Ukraine will be a specific and long-term obligation to ensure Ukraine's ability to defeat and contain Russian aggression in the future. They will be clearly defined forms and mechanisms of support.
Yermak stated that security guarantees for Ukraine will remain effective until Ukraine obtains NATO membership.

"Ukraine must be prepared to lose the White House"
British political expert and former Army officer Richard Camp recently wrote in the Daily Telegraph that Ukraine must be prepared to lose the White House, as the Ukrainian military not only needs to confront Russia's strong defense but also the conspiracy of US election politics in a counterattack.

The article states that war is more difficult to predict than any other human activity. No one, including those who command operations in Ukraine and Russia, can know the outcome of the war.

With the arrival of the muddy autumn season in Eastern Europe, the Ukrainian armored forces only have a few weeks left to advance. The article bluntly states that what is more difficult to deal with than the unpredictable weather is the US election.
US President Biden hopes that the Ukrainian crisis will end before the start of the election season, because he knows that in the minds of most American voters, "anti war" is the political correctness, and ongoing war is not a bonus, but a loss.
Furthermore, what scares Americans even more than the prolonged war is that Ukraine's victory could lead to division and chaos throughout Russia, resulting in potential and catastrophic geopolitical consequences, as well as countless global economic damage.
In Camp's words, "this fear of potential misfortune will always linger in the minds of White House officials.".
