Financial Times – Poland calls for Nato to guarantee Ukraine’s security after end of war 

The  Financial Times reports Poland’s president has called on NATO to give Ukraine post-war security guarantees.

FT says Polish president Andrzej Duda has called on Nato powers to give postwar security guarantees to Ukraine, on the eve of a visit to Warsaw by his US counterpart to reaffirm the west’s support for Kyiv a year into Russia’s war.

Duda told the Financial Times that promises of security guarantees “would be important” for Ukraine and the morale of its soldiers by underscoring “this feeling that Nato stands with them”.

Duda’s call comes as he prepares to host Joe Biden in what is expected to be the key point of the US president’s visit this week to mark the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

While Ukraine was aware it cannot join Nato now, Kyiv was expecting a “partnership” with “some kind of security guarantees”, Duda said in an interview on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
