The former president of Ukraine and leader of the ‘European Solidarity’ party Petro Poroshenko called on Germany to support invitation of Ukraine to NATO at Washington summit.
Poroshenko said this during his meeting with the head of the foreign affairs committee of the Bundestag, Michael Roth.
He also stated this during his speech and discussion organized by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation. According to Poroshenko, the Bundestag should adopt a special resolution and appeal to other NATO member countries to support Ukraine’s invitation to the Alliance.
He also noted that Russia has destroyed international law, and the only mechanism that allows preserving peace is Ukraine’s membership in NATO.
‘I propose that the Bundestag adopt a resolution calling on all NATO member states to accept Ukraine, to invite it,’ Petro Poroshenko said.
The former president also called on Germany to provide Taurus missiles and air defense systems.
In my previous column, I wrote about social innovations in Ukraine. Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now.

Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
