President of France Emmanuel Macron said that Western allies must provide Ukraine with security guarantees as Ukraine continues to resist Russian aggression, Barron's reports.
According to him, security guarantees for Ukraine from West should be "tangible and credible".
Stressing that Ukraine "is today protecting Europe", Macron said in Bratislava it is in the West's interest that Kyiv "have credible security guarantees with us within a multilateral framework".
Ukraine's officials call on the West to make security guarantees for the country in the face of a full-scale war with Russia. As Ukraine states, they are necessary to ensure protection for the period up to Ukraine's accession to NATO.
