Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said: “I do not see any prospects in the foreseeable future for NATO countries to approve his country’s entry into the alliance, which means that I expect NATO to continue in the near future to confirm that the door is open and that the decision The Bucharest summit is not yet in force, and, of course, Ukraine will remain on the path of Euro-Atlantic integration, but I do not see the possibility of changing the position of NATO in the near future, as a European Union, and starting to do concrete things to ensure Ukraine’s entry into the alliance.”

He stated in an interview with the press that “there is no alternative to the full integration of Ukraine with the West, and now we are talking about it,” pointing out that “the Ukrainian authorities are not considering providing their country with security guarantees from Western countries.” This is what the Ukrainian leadership is striving for as an alternative to joining NATO. He said: “This is not an alternative, but rather filling the void between the present moment and the moment when Ukraine becomes a member of the collective security mechanism. It is not an alternative, there is no alternative. There is a war going on for us now, so we understand that NATO will not accept us as members either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so the question of guarantees has arisen.”
