Ukraine has to wait to be invited as a NATO member now, but receives a promise of future membership.
– We will invite Ukraine as a new NATO member when the allied countries agree, and Ukraine has met the requirements, says NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg at the summit in Vilnius.
He said that the member states also decided to abolish an action plan for new members. -This means that two steps become one step.
Before the summit, Ukrainian President Zelensky criticized NATO for vague promises about when Ukraine will be invited as a member.
