“I thank former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen for being directly involved in the process, for agreeing to lead, together with Andriy Yermak, a platform that can fundamentally create concrete security guarantees for Ukraine,” Zelensky wrote in his Telegram.

According to the Ukrainian president, the group should include "powerful experts with practical experience."

Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC), noted earlier that Kyiv has no other options but to integrate into NATO.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Sky News that Ukraine's entry into the alliance was never even close to possible.
