Security arrangements between Nato and Ukraine “will not be a substitute for Nato membership”, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s office says following his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the alliance’s summit in Vilnius.
The statement references the security guarantees discussed by Nato allies for Ukraine, which will be announced by the G7 group of countries later today.
The UK strongly supports Kyiv's bid to join the military bloc, and Sunak said earlier this week that Ukraine’s “rightful place is in Nato”.
