Details: Yermak said the meeting was attended by former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt, leader of the 90/Green Alliance Omid Nouripour, former United States Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations Kurt Volker, and former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
"We discussed the importance of inviting Ukraine to the NATO summit in Washington in 2024 and our country’s future membership of the Alliance," Yermak said, without disclosing any further details.
"We need to ensure Ukraine wins this war but also create the security architecture so Russia can never do this again," Fogh Rasmussen said.
Most of the participants attended the inaugural meeting on 31 January remotely.
