Zelenskyy will be 'relieved' when he sees what allies will offer Ukraine around NATO membership at a summit in Lithuania, a senior US diplomat has said
"I welcome this long-awaited decision that shortens our path to NATO," Dmytro Kuleba wrote."It is also the best moment to offer clarity on the invitation to Ukraine to become a member."
Others, however, such as Germany, have been more cautious. Ukraine is still locked in a war of survival with Russia. Ensuring the Ukrainian military succeeds in defeating Russia's war is the primary objective of NATO allies. Asked whether she agreed with that sentiment, Ms Smith reaffirmed that all allies agree Ukraine will become a member and that the offer this week to Kyiv would be"moving beyond" simply restating the language from the Bucharest summit in 2008.
"We are going to have a whole collection of deliverables for him outlining an enhanced political relationship. We are going to have more practical support over the long term and we're going to have something to say about Ukraine's membership aspirations.
