US security experts say Ukraine's abandonment of NATO goal will not alter peace talks: Reuters
Zelenskiy seeks legally binding security guarantees from the West as a replacement for NATO membership, a move experts say likely won’t alter peace talks with Russia.
- On December 14, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy offered to drop Ukraine's NATO aspirations during negotiations with U.S. envoys in New York.
- The U.S. 2025 National Security Strategy embeds ending NATO expansion, and Trump's 28 point peace plan, point 7 urges Ukraine's constitution to bar NATO membership.
- Two security analysts said Ukraine's offer probably will not significantly change peace talks; Justin Logan called it `This doesn’t move the needle at all`, and Brett Bruen described it as `significant and substantive`.
- Trading NATO membership, Zelenskiy sought NATO Article 5‑like guarantees, though analysts say Russia is unlikely to accept them; U.S. responses could include weapons shipments, sanctions, and more aid if Russia attacks again.
- Decades of agreements left Ukraine formally pledged to neutrality, with the 1990 Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine, Article IX, and Ukraine's 2019 constitutional amendment mandated NATO membership amid only 40% public support.
