At all levels, the Ukrainian side emphasized that the assurances that "Ukraine will become a member of the Alliance" that were made during the Bucharest NATO Summit in 2008 are not enough.

Instead, Ukraine is asking NATO allies for security guarantees and a clear perspective on the path to full membership.
