Germany advocates security guarantees for Ukraine similar to NATO membership

Ukraine will need security guarantees that are very close to what NATO membership means, DW reports.

“We cannot demand that Ukraine seriously consider territorial concessions if it does not receive at least real security guarantees from as many states as possible that at least the remaining part will be safe,” he said.

Wadeful hopes that insisting on such security guarantees will ultimately convince Putin. The German minister is convinced that such guarantees will not pose any threat to Russia.

“Then this could become the basis for peace to finally return to Europe,” he said.
