A number of NATO countries could send troops to Ukraine if the war-torn country is not given security guarantees at a forthcoming summit, a former secretary-general has warned.
Reported from foreign media that, according to Anders Rasmussen, even if such guarantees were not agreed, members of the alliance would not allow the issue of Ukraine’s future NATO membership to be kept off the agenda at the Vilnius summit in July.
"We know that Poland is very engaged in providing concrete assistance to Ukraine.
"And I wouldn’t exclude the possibility that Poland would engage even stronger in this context on a national basis and be followed by the Baltic states, maybe including the possibility of troops on the ground.”
The former secretary-general claimed it would be legal for Ukraine to seek such military assistance.
