Recall that the head of the legal group at the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, Alexander Chaly, said that security guarantees should be analogous to Article 5 of NATO. This means that an attack on our state will be considered an attack on all signatories.. Chaly noted that if they are agreed upon, our side agrees to permanent neutrality, non-alignment and non-nuclear. But nothing should contradict Ukraine's right to join the EU.

The head of the Ukrainian delegation, David Arakhamia, told whom Ukraine wants to see as signatories of security guarantees - member countries of the UN Security Council.
