A Ukrainian MP has said it would be difficult for her country to give up on ambitions to join NATO as Moscow and Kyiv continue talks over an end to war.
Lesia Vasylenko said joining the alliance was "a course that we have decided to take and proscribed it specifically in our constitution".
Meanwhile, the Kremlin said negotiators were discussing a status for Ukraine similar to that of Austria or Sweden, both members of the European Union that are outside the NATO military alliance.
