France is discussing with its partners possible agreements on security guarantees for Ukraine in the perspective of future threats to the country, a representative of the French Foreign Ministry said at a briefing on Tuesday.
"France is ready to agree with Ukraine on agreements aimed at providing security guarantees that will help it protect itself in the long term and prevent possible future aggressions," the French Foreign Ministry reported.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, "France, together with its partners, continues to consider how best to support Ukraine in the long term and in all spheres."
The Wall Street Journal wrote that despite the fact that NATO is not currently considering the issue of accepting Ukraine into its ranks, the leading states of the alliance are discussing possible security guarantees for Kyiv, which provide for strengthening the country's defense capabilities and strengthening its sovereignty.
Guarantors of Ukrainian security could be the USA, Great Britain, Germany and France, the publication reported.
