In Paris, Ukraine's automatic membership in NATO will be discussed if the Russian Federation is breaking a truce - the media

The main purpose of the meeting is to consolidate Europe's efforts on security guarantees for Ukraine and insist on attracting European countries in international negotiations on the end of the war that is currently underway. About it writes the British edition of The Guardian. In particular, fears are a future summit in Riyadh, where for the first time in two years, high-ranking officials of the United States and Russia should meet.

In Europe, it is concerned that the Kremlin can try again to impose Ukraine's neutrality and the concept of common division between the United States and Russia with agreed areas of influence. According to French Foreign Minister Jean-Note Barro, Macron plans to discuss European security issues with European leaders. He did not specify which countries would participate, but called not to exaggerate the value of the meeting.

According to diplomatic sources of the publication, Germany, Poland, Italy and Denmark will join the discussions in Paris - countries representing the Baltic and Scandinavian regions. The presence of NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Lien is also expected. German Chancellor Olaf Solz, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom will be expected to arrive at the summit.

The main topic of the meeting will be the formation of defense initiatives for providing Ukraine with real security guarantees. One of the options proposed is the automatic acquisition of Ukraine's membership in NATO in the event of a clear violation of the ceasefire regime by Russia. French Foreign Minister Barro stressed that only Ukraine has the right to decide when to stop the fighting.

According to him, Ukrainians "will never stop until they are sure that the peace offered to them will be long -lasting. " He is convinced that Europeans can provide these guarantees. The proposal for Ukraine's membership in NATO, subject to a violation of the ceasefire regime, which was promoted by some American senators, has the support of some of the European leaders, including President of Finland Alexander Stubba.

He stressed that the return of "spheres of influence" cannot be admitted to Ukraine, and Ukraine must guarantee "independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity" in any negotiation. Next week in Saudi Arabia there should be negotiations on war in Ukraine. State Secretary of Rubio, National Security Advisor Mike Volt and Special Representative in the Middle East, Steve Witcoff, will be represented in Riyadh.

The Russian delegation will be headed by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who on the eve of the negotiations stated the need to "restore a mutually respected dialogue between states.

" French President Emmanuel Macron said he was not surprised by the speed with which Donald Trump is trying to conclude a ceasefire agreement, but European officials fear that Moscow seeks not only for Ukraine's neutrality, but also for the conclusion of the area of ​​influence, reminiscent of the Yalta Conference 1945 the year. Ukraine has not received an invitation to negotiate in Riyadh, but the United States assures that Kiev will be involved indirectly.

The US Special Representative for the Russian Federation and Ukraine Kit Kelloggus stated that one of the possible sanctions against Russia in the event of a violation of the agreement could be limited to its shadow fleet. We will remind, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine never recognizes the occupied territories as part of the Russian Federation. At the same time, he is ready to discuss the de facto Russian control agreement, but within the framework of the NATO entry agreement.
