In a statement, Kurti said that "Russia's illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine remains a threat to international peace and security" and "the toll exacted thus far - in terms of human life, economic stagnation, and environmental devastation - has been catastrophic for the Ukrainian people."

Quote from Kurti: "We salute them [the Ukrainian people - ed.] for their brave resistance in defending our shared values, including democracy, human rights and global peace and stability. And we express our deepest sympathy and condolences for their loss and suffering."

He also pointed out that "the effects of the conflict have also rippled far beyond Ukraine's borders.

In an effort to distract attention from its illegal war, Russia is attempting to destabilise the Western Balkans, with the help of its main autocratic allies in the region."

Background:

On 12 July, at the NATO Summit in Vilnius, the G7 countries agreed on a framework document on security guarantees for Ukraine.

The leaders did not agree on the specific parameters of the security guarantees but on their framework, and specific bilateral agreements will be signed later.
As of now, 25 countries have joined the G7 declaration on long-term security guarantees for Ukraine.
In August, Ukraine began talks on security guarantees with the United States and the United Kingdom.
