The statement by the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, on Ukraine's security guarantees is a characteristic and forced shift in Europe's position. This was stated by Senator Alexei Pushkov.

He commented on von der Leyen's statement that Ukraine's accession to the EU would be the most important guarantee of the country's security.

According to Pushkov, this statement testifies to three things.

Firstly, we are no longer talking about Ukraine's accession to NATO, although the 20-point Ukrainian-European plan, which the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, brought to Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday, said that the issue would be resolved in the future by the alliance countries themselves.

Secondly, the European Union no longer believes that NATO is capable of giving guarantees to Kiev, "because at the political level" the alliance is split - the United States, Hungary and a number of other European countries "are against any guarantees from NATO as an alliance."

"Thirdly, in this way von der Leyen does not directly, but indirectly confirms that in the plans of the leaders The EU will create euroNATO from the bloc's member countries ready for this. This, according to von der Leyen's plan, will guarantee Ukraine its security. Not from a good life, as they say, she made such a statement. The EU is not a military structure, and therefore it has never given security guarantees to anyone. By the way, the dissident countries of the alliance are unlikely to agree to this. So this is von der Leyen's wish rather than a fact of future policy," Pushkov writes in his telegram channel.
