Speaking to the Financial Times Margus Tsahkna that NATO will provide the best security for Ukraine which it will be able to guarantee to prevent another war in Ukraine.

The Foreign Minister said that if President Donald Trump rejects Ukraine’s NATO membership, then the alliance will have to send boots on the ground.

He added. If we are talking about real security guarantees, it means that there will be a just peace.

“Then we are talking about NATO membership.

“But without the US it is impossible. And then we are talking about any form [of guarantee] in the meaning of boots on the ground.”

Last week the former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the UK will have to “send British troops to Ukraine” should Trump cut all vital aid to Kyiv.

It is not known what Donald Trump will do with Ukraine once he takes office in January but there have been rumours coming out of the Trump camp there could be a cut in funding to end the war.

Johnson also said that should Vladimir Putin gain the upper hand in the war then this could also trigger British troops being sent to Ukraine.

Speaking to GB News Johnson said, “If Ukraine goes down, then we face an even bigger threat on our borders, the borders of the European continent wherever the democracies butt up against Russia.”

Should Kyiv fall then the ripple effects will be felt in the Baltic states and the South China Sea.

“Let me give the financial argument for why that’s a good investment of public funds, why protecting democracy in Ukraine is actually a sensible investment,” Johnson told GB News.

The former Prime Minister added, “What I’m saying is for people watching, thinking ‘why are we supporting the Ukrainians?’

“It’s because otherwise our collective security will be really degraded by a resurgent Russia threatening all sorts of parts of Europe, and we will then have to pay to send British troops to help defend Ukraine.”
