Ukraine will join NATO — British and German foreign ministers
This was stated by German Foreign Minister Annalena Berbock and British Foreign Secretary David Lemmy during the Munich Conference on February 15.
But we are quite right to say that for Ukraine, the path to NATO is irreversible. This is the cheapest and best mechanism for ensuring peace not only in Europe, but throughout the Euro-Atlantic region.

British Foreign Secretary
Meanwhile, Burbock also noted that Ukraine's path lies in the direction of NATO.
So it's very important for me to say now that this would even be the cheapest option if this NATO option remains on the table. Because, as was said, if we involve thousands of troops, it will cost a lot of money.
Annalena Burbock
German Foreign Minister
At the same time, the British minister stressed that even if peace is achieved, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will not leave.
We face this issue together with the United States. At the appropriate time, we will begin a discussion on security guarantees.
