Andriy Melnyk, Ukraine’s new envoy to the United Nations, said in an interview with Berliner Morgenpost that diplomatic efforts are currently focusing on securing guarantees, a move that contrasts with earlier statements that firm commitments to full NATO integration would be the only path to peace.
This adjustment comes after Ukraine’s foreign ministry said on December 3 that it would not accept any “alternatives, surrogates or substitutes” for NATO membership.
Melnyk pointed to the necessity of securing guarantees that went beyond political assurances.
He said: “Our partners should carefully write down what military means they will use to defend Ukraine if Russia attacks again.”
He added in his interview, published on December 27, that these guarantees could be formalized through bilateral or multilateral agreements involving NATO and European Union member states and potentially incorporated into a broader peace treaty with Russia.
Several NATO members, including Germany, Hungary, and Slovakia, remain resistant to Ukraine's entry into the alliance. The U.S. has also expressed reluctance, with officials indicating that immediate accession is not a priority.
