NATO will participate in providing security guarantees to Ukraine, said the military bloc's Secretary General Mark Rutte at a press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, APA reports.
“I will make sure that Ukraine is given such a level of security guarantee that Russia will not attack it again,” Rutte emphasized.
“It is still too early to say who will send troops to Ukraine, who will provide intelligence information, and who will assist Ukraine at sea and in the air. But it is clear that the US will participate here. We do not want a repeat of the Budapest Memorandum or the Minsk Agreements,” Rutte noted.
Recall that the Budapest Memorandum, signed in 1994, provided security guarantees in exchange for Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan handing over their nuclear weapons.
