🧵Peace talks in Istanbul: in exchange for its neutrality, #Ukraine wants security guarantees analogues to NATO's article 5 – if attacked, it has a right to demand consultations, and if diplomacy fails, signees of the agreement must provide military aid and "even close the sky".

The signees would also have to support Ukraine's accession into the EU.

Ukraine would agree to not have any foreign military bases or contingents on its soil. It will be a neutral country, and will drop its NATO aspirations.
