They declined to comment on specific statements from leaders of NATO member states but emphasised that Kyiv engages with the Alliance and receives assistance in other areas of cooperation, both military and political. 

"And let me add that there are currently no plans to deploy troops to Ukraine in any form," the official added.

  • Last month, Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba stated that training missions for Ukrainian servicemen should take place in Ukraine, as this would help Kyiv gain time and simplify logistics.
  • This statement came against the backdrop of French President Emmanuel Macron’s remarks about Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine, including the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine, which  caused an uproar, but, as he said, had been carefully thought through.
