The Kyiv Security Compact
editThe Ukraine Compact was built on an earlier a set of recommendations by former NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen called the Kyiv Security Compact. [7]
The Kyiv Security Compact called for a new European security architecture that would guarantee Ukraine's security until the country would be able to join NATO. This would consists of long-term, legally binding bilateral and multi-lateral agreements between Ukraine and its partners, that would help sustain Ukraine's future military force so as to stop the Russian invasion of Ukraine but also prevent and deter future attacks. The agreements would also pave the way for a mechanism to assess new threats and convene the signatories within 24 hours to take further action to deter further threats of aggression [8].
