          #Witkoff has just said that if deal is agreed, #Russia will “legally guarantee #Ukraine security”.

          As a reminder Russia has already “legally guaranteed” Ukraine’s security in 1994 Budapest Memorandum, “legally guaranteed” Ukraine’s borders in 1999 Friendship Treaty and then confirmed their demarcation in a number of bilateral agreements it signed before 2014.

          That should tell you everything about how much Russia’s “legal guarantees” are worth…
