Bankova refuted the "FT nonsense": No one offered, and Kiev does not trade territories

An article in the Financial Times that talks about discussing the formula "NATO in exchange for territories" is nonsense. This was stated to the Ukrainian media in the office of the President (OP) of Ukraine.

In the West, no one offered Ukraine security guarantees "that would prevent a repeat of the war," they said at Bankova, stressing that they did not offer "officially and explicitly."

"This is nonsense. There is no such conversation at all. No one in the West has officially and explicitly offered Ukraine such security guarantees that would definitely prevent the expansion or recurrence of the war. They are even afraid to give range. Secondly, we do not trade sovereignty and territories," said a source in the OP.

As reported by EADaily, Western countries are discussing with Kiev a scheme for ending the Ukrainian conflict on the principle of "territories in exchange for NATO." This was reported by the Financial Times newspaper, citing sources in diplomatic circles.

This is stated in the article "Ukraine, NATO membership and the West German model."

The point is that the conflict ends without the return of the territories occupied by Russia to Ukraine, and the part of the country controlled by Kiev enters into NATO and the alliance's security guarantees apply to it. It is noted that these guarantees do not extend to employed Russian territories, although they legally continue to be considered Ukrainian.
