BRUSSELS: NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Wednesday said the members of the Western military alliance are divided on what to do at an upcoming summit about Ukraine's push to join. READ HERE:
'On that issue there are different views in the alliance and of course the only way to make decisions in NATO is by consensus,' Stoltenberg told a conference in Brussels.Ukraine — backed by NATO countries in eastern Europe — is calling for a 'clear message' at a July summit of alliance leaders in Lithuania's capital Vilnius that it will join after Russia's war ends.Kyiv concedes it will not become a member while fighting rages on its territory.
Ukraine's Western allies are mulling if other forms of security assurances can be offered to Ukraine that would reassure Kyiv as an interim step before it became a NATO member.France on Tuesday said it is willing to reach a deal with Ukraine on 'security guarantees which will help it to defend itself in the long-term'.'The ultimate security guarantee will be NATO membership, but... that's not something that will happen in the midst of a war,' Stoltenberg said.
