“ In Brussels there was a gathering of NATO abroad ministers who discussed, among others, further strengthening Ukraine's defence capabilities. Representatives of the North Atlantic Alliance one more time rejected Kiev's call for accession talks. Even before the talks began, NATO associate States' Heads of Diplomacy informed Ukraine that they would not be satisfied with anything another than membership in the North Atlantic Alliance in order to warrant their future security. Kiev fears that alternate solutions will be ineffective, pointing to the Budapest Memorandum of December 1994. The global agreement was to give Ukraine guarantees of security, sovereignty and territorial integrity in exchange for giving up the 3rd largest atomic arsenal in the world. In 2014, the Budapeszten Memorandum was disregarded by 1 of the signatories - Russia, which began aggression against Ukraine. "We are convinced that the only real warrant of safety for Ukraine, as well as the deterrence against further Russian aggression against Ukraine and another states, is the full membership of Ukraine in NATO" - we read the message of the MFA there. However, there is no agreement among associate States to extend the North Atlantic Alliance to Ukraine. According to the Ukrainian portal Suspilne, citing sources in NATO, the main obstacle to considering Ukraine's accession to the Alliance is the position of the US and Germany. politicians from Hungary and Slovakia informed about the reluctance to extend NATO to the east. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte avoided answers for the anticipation of Kiev joining the North Atlantic Alliance. Rutte only pointed out that the most crucial thing present is that "Ukraine, if it always decides to enter the peace talks (with Russia - ed), makes it a position of strength."
