White House stopped short of promising to honour agreement with Kiev under new president

The United States security agreement with Ukraine “is not carved in stone”, its fulfilment under a change of the head of the White House is not guaranteed. This was stated by Jake Sullivan, Assistant to the President of the United States for National Security.

According to Sullivan, who spoke on the margins of the conference in Switzerland, the agreements reached by one government can be changed by another government. And that doesn’t just apply to the US.

“I can’t change that immutable fact. And I will not try to mislead anyone and say as if what is written is carved in stone,” TASS quoted Sullivan as saying.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova described the security guarantees of Ukraine and the USA as nothing more than pieces of paper.
