30 nations working on security guarantees for Ukraine: NATO chief
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said the issue of NATO membership for Ukraine wasn't discussed in the meeting held at White House, adding that 30 countries were working on a framework of security guarantees for Ukraine. "What we're discussing...is Article 5-type security guarantees for Ukraine," Rutte said. Article 5 of NATO's founding treaty enshrines the principle of collective defence.
