VILNIUS: NATO leaders said on Tuesday that Ukraine should be able to join the military alliance at some point in the future but they stopped short of offering Kyiv an immediate invitation, angering Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
NATO did drop a requirement for Ukraine to fulfil what is called a Membership Action Plan , effectively removing a hurdle on Kyiv's way into the alliance."It's unprecedented and absurd when a timeframe is not set, neither for the invitation nor for Ukraine's membership," Zelenskyy said before arriving in Vilnius as a special guest.
"I would wish for this belief to become a certainty - certainty in decisions that all of us deserve and which our every soldier expects, our every citizen, our every mother, our every child. And is this too big of a wish?" he asked.SIGNIFICANT AND DIRECT THREAT Countries such as the United States and Germany have been more cautious, wary of any move that they fear could draw NATO into a direct conflict with Russia.
Asked about Zelenskyy's criticism, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told a press conference:"There has never been a stronger message from NATO at any time, both when it comes to the political message of the path forward for membership and the concrete support from NATO allies." Moscow, which has cited NATO's eastern expansion as a factor in its decision to invade Ukraine, has criticised the two-day summit ending on Wednesday and warned Europe would be the first to face"catastrophic consequences" should the war escalate.
