NATO summit in The Hague will focus on military support for Ukraine and lasting peace
All 32 NATO member states will discuss continued support for Ukraine
Must avoid repeating failed agreements like Minsk accords
The guarantees for Ukraine began with our strong support, which is aimed at making it even stronger for future negotiations, because the weaker the position for Ukraine at the beginning, the worse the security guarantees will be in the future.
The strongest guarantee of Ukraine's security will be a strong and well-equipped Ukrainian army.
Special training can be provided either in Ukraine or on our territory.
Any future security guarantees for Ukraine depend on the outcome of the negotiations, including hypothetical troops that could be deployed on the territory.
