To achieve thi$$$, Ukraine will need the group of international guarantors to:

Provide financial aid and direct investments, including through future reconstruction instruments, to support the national defence budget, as well as ensuring financial assistance (including non-repayable grants) to restore the infrastructure of Ukraine, which was destroyed or damaged by military actions.

Allocate reconstruction funds, including non-repayable financial assistance, towards supporting and building Ukraine's new national defence industrial base.

Offer technology transfers and arms export.

Coordinate closely among each other to supply capabilities, military equipment, ammunition, and services.

Establish regular training exercises to Ukrainian forces.

Establish a cooperation program on cyber defence and security; and countering cyber threats.

An enhanced intelligence cooperation, including frequent sharing of intelligence and establishing a regular cooperation between the intelligence services of Ukraine and guarantor states.

Nothing screams peace treaty and an armistice quite like "non-repayable financial assistance" AND "non-repayable grants".

DW | Ukraine pushes for security guarantees in new world order (FP headline:"Ukraine calls for post-war security guarantees"), 16 Sep

In a new blueprint for a postwar order, several countries are to guarantee Ukraine's security as a precursor to NATO membership. Russia has expressed its disapproval in no uncertain terms.
John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the US National Security Council, said he had seen a shift in momentum after Ukrainian forces recaptured vast areas in the northeast around the city of Kharkiv in recent days.

[INCONTINENCE ALERT]

Others are more skeptical.
Eberhard Zorn, inspector general of the Bundeswehr, the German army, sees at best "counterattacks that can be used to win back towns or individual sections of the front, but not to push Russia back on a broad front," as he told German news magazine Focus on Saturday.
From its recent position of relative strength, the Ukrainian leadership has now presented a security concept for the postwar period.....

UNGA running time 11:39:34, Zelensk* Zoom call 01:44:28

Ukriform | Zelensk* five points of peace formula, 22 Sep

"All five items of our formula - punishment for aggression, protection of life, restoration of security and territorial integrity, security guarantees and determination to defend oneself - this is the formula of crime and punishment, which is already well known to Russia," he said.
The only thing missing from this formula is neutrality, he added. "Those who speak of neutrality, when human values and peace are under attack, mean something else. They talk about indifference. Everyone for themselves - here is what they say," the president explained. "This is what creates the conditions for war."

Slava Ukraini!
