Ukraine will be helped but not as if a NATO member suppling modern weapons

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says his government is discussing security guarantees for Ukraine in preparation for a time after the war, but said that these will not be the same as for a member of the transatlantic NATO alliance.

“We are discussing with close allies the question of the security guarantees we can give. This is an ongoing process. It is clear that it will not be the same as if someone were a member of NATO,” Scholz told the broadcaster ARD.
