NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte proposed the organization of Ukraine in Article 5 -Styl as part of the “security guarantees” of Kiev, who has faced tireless Russian bombing since February 2022. Does this also represent NATO membership as a guarantee of his future security?
NATO Secretary General spoke to the press after meeting with Zechensky and other European leaders in the White House and said the team for Ukraine discussed “some arrangement of article 5 type” to protect her from the future invasions of Russia. His comments were supported by Finnish President Cai-Göran Alexander Stubb, who said, “We talked about the type of security guarantees of Article 5.”
What does Art 5 NATO say?
Article 5 stipulates that if an ally of NATO is a victim of an armed attack, each other member of the alliance will consider this act of violence to be an armed attack against all members and take steps it considers necessary to help the attacked ally.
It Says, “Parties Agree That An Armed Attack Against One or More of Them in Europe or North America Shall Be Considered an Attack Against Them All and Consequently They Agree That, IF Such an Armed Attack OCCURS, Each of Them Self-Defence Recognized by Article 51 of the charter of the United Nations, Will Assist the Party or Parties SO Attacked by Taking Forthwith, Individual and in Concert with the Other Parties, Such Action as IT Deems Necessary
If Ukraine receives assurance in the style of the article, any future Russian attack would commit all NATO allies to come to Kiev defense.
But NATO membership for Ukraine? Maybe not!

“The situation is this – that the US and some other countries have stated that they are against NATO membership for Ukraine. NATO’s official positions … is that there is an irreversible way for Ukraine,” said Mark Rutte.
“But what we are discussing here is not NATO membership, what we are discussing here is the type of security guarantees of Article 5 for Ukraine and what exactly will mean, will now be discussed more specifically.”
“Security Guaranteing” for Ukraine
“Security warranties” would ensure that Russia does not attack Ukraine again.
Also, there were no interviews about sending soldiers on Earth in Ukraine, but for NATO -style protection for Ukraine.
