Arakhamiya: We are ready to discuss non-NATO models of security

"We are ready to discuss some non-NATO models. For example, there could be direct guarantees by different countries like the United States, China, the United Kingdom, maybe Germany and France. We are open to discuss such things in a broader circle, not only in bilateral discussions with Russia, but also with other partners," member of the Ukrainian delegation to the talks with Russia, head of the Servant of the People parliamentary faction Davyd Arakhamiya told Fox News in an interview.

According to him, NATO will not be ready for possible membership of Ukraine for at least five years. "The response that we are getting from the NATO countries is that they are not ready to even discuss having us in NATO, not for the closest period of five or 10 years. We would not fight for the NATO applications, we would fight for the result, but not for the process,” the politician noted.

Arakhamiya also noted that once Ukraine stopped Russia’s domination in the sky, it would fight back on the land. "Even considering the fact that their army is five or ten times bigger than ours, we are pretty sure we will fight back and put them away back to the place where they started from. That’s why the no-fly zone is so important, it saves so many lives," he said.

On February 24, Russian president Vladimir Putin announced the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops are shelling and destroying key infrastructure, conducting massive shelling of Ukrainian towns and villages using artillery, multiple rocket launcher systems, and ballistic missiles.

Martial law was imposed in Ukraine and general mobilization was announced.
