At the same time, he emphasized that Ukraine is not looking for alternatives to NATO membership, but needs security guarantees before the end of the current war.

"Today, when we are talking about security guarantees for Ukraine – these include sanctions, financial guarantees, weapons, etc., that are today not in documents, but in reality. If we want to have them on paper, then there should be clearly indicated or accompanied by something concrete that these security guarantees are valid until Ukraine receives the main security guarantees, namely membership in NATO," the President explained.
