France is discussing with its partners possible agreements on security guarantees for Ukraine in the face of future threats to the country, a French Foreign Ministry spokesman said at a briefing on Tuesday.
“France is ready to agree with Ukraine on agreements aimed at providing security guarantees that will help it protect itself in the long term and prevent possible future aggressions,” the French foreign ministry said.
According to the Foreign Ministry, “France, together with its partners, continues to reflect on how best to support Ukraine in the long term and in all areas.”
The Wall Street Journal wrote that despite the fact that NATO is not currently considering Ukraine’s membership, the alliance’s leading powers are discussing possible security guarantees for Kyiv, which include strengthening the country’s defense capabilities and sovereignty.
The United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and France could act as guarantors of Ukrainian security, the publication reported.
