Poroshenko in Brussels: NATO member states’ military presence in Ukraine should remain on the negotiating table

Fifth President and current People’s Deputy Petro Poroshenko, who is participating in a meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Inter-Parliamentary Council at the Alliance headquarters, emphasized that the option of the Allies’ military presence on the territory of our state should remain on the negotiating table.

“Ukraine is grateful to you for considering the issue of military presence. I sincerely believe that this option should remain on the negotiating table and, ultimately, be implemented. This is not just about the military presence of our allies in Ukraine; this is a clear signal to Russia that aggression has limits,” he said.

According to him, the military presence is not an escalation, but a step to prevent further violence.

“This is a step towards a safer and more lasting peace. Russia must understand that if it is ready to escalate aggression, the European side is also ready to respond. That you are ready to respond decisively to decisiveness. Half-measures do not lead to peace,” Petro Poroshenko assured.
