NATO countries are currently discussing the issue of inviting Ukraine to join the Alliance, Babel reports.
This was stated by a senior representative of the administration of US President Joe Biden at a briefing, the White House press service reports.
Discussions on the invitation are ongoing among NATO members. There is currently no consensus on whether to offer Ukraine an invitation, – he said.
He reminded that at the NATO summit in July, all 32 members of the Alliance confirmed that Ukraine is on an irreversible path to NATO membership.
So, the question is how to encourage this path and how to reach a consensus on the next steps, – the official emphasized.
He assured that there is an “active conversation” on various elements of the victory plan outlined by the President of Ukraine.
There are certain elements that we are currently implementing in terms of providing additional military capabilities, which is also an element of the plan, – he emphasized.
It is worth adding that the American official noted that the position of the United States and Biden, in particular, is to “put Ukraine in a position of strength.
We want it to win this war. And we must give it the capabilities it needs to do so. But we cannot do it alone. We have to do it together with our partners and allies, which is why President Biden called for the Ramstein summit, – the White House official added.
According to him, the meeting in the Ramstein format is likely to take place in November.
