NATO member countries are considering the possibility of concluding a long-term agreement with Ukraine under which Kyiv will receive Western weapons and military technologies, Polish President Andrzej Duda said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.
Previously, US President Joe Biden and other Western leaders spoke about the fact that NATO-Ukraine relations can be built on the model of American-Israeli relations in the field of security. Currently, an agreement has been concluded between the USA and Israel, which provides for multibillion-dollar supplies of American weapons for ten years. At the same time, the USA did not undertake to help Israel in case of external aggression.
The Wall Street Journal, citing a representative of the White House, writes that the Western allies are trying to develop a formula for interaction with Ukraine that will allow it to provide long-term support in the field of security, based on the thesis that Ukraine will most likely not become a member of NATO in the coming years. Such an agreement should deprive the Kremlin of hope that a protracted war is in its interests, that Western support for Ukraine will decrease over time.
"Russia should understand today that Ukraine has received security guarantees and the effect of these guarantees will not end after some time," Andrzej Duda said in an interview with the newspaper.
