Ukraine has 2 scenarios regarding security guarantees. The most practical option for the country may be NATO Article 5.

This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Gabrielius Landsbergis during the security forum in Warsaw, reports the correspondent of 24 Kanal.

What scenarios of security guarantees can Ukraine have

The head of the Lithuanian MFA noted that Ukraine must win the war, and Putin must accept his defeat.

Ukraine must declare its victory, and the international community must recognize this victory. Putin must lose and accept it, and his allies must accept it, Gabrielius Landsbergis said.

He noted that now the West cannot “imagine a world in which Putin lost” and this is the same scenario when in the 1990s the West “could not imagine a world in which Gorbachev and the Soviet Union lost.”

“We must repeat this. This is the only viable scenario for Europe and for Ukraine,” the Lithuanian minister said.

Gabrielius Landsbergis said that there are two scenarios regarding security guarantees. The first option is the deployment of foreign troops, with Japan and South Korea being examples. The other option is Ukraine's accession to NATO. The head of the Lithuanian MFA suggests creating NATO defense plans for Ukraine right now.

To be honest, I think that NATO's Article 5 is the most practical security guarantee that can be offered to Ukraine, he emphasized.

The Lithuanian minister also expressed the opinion that it is necessary to immediately plan how NATO will work in Ukraine, so as not to end up in the same scenario as the Baltic countries, when they joined NATO and then only twelve years later began to talk about defense plans.
