NATO diplomats have told media that the alliance will have to strike the right balance between maintaining the open-door policy and supporting Kiev’s aspirations without directly admitting the country to the bloc. The proposed Council between Ukraine and NATO should serve this purpose. Kyiv will become a “full-fledged” part of the corps and have greater opportunities to communicate with the alliance, the sources said. Ukraine will be able to engage in closer intelligence sharing, joint exercises, as well as receive more options for financial support and development of its own armed forces in accordance with NATO standards, according to the report. NATO diplomats also believe that this joint format will facilitate Ukraine’s future transition to membership. Furthermore, NATO members from Eastern Europe are pushing the bloc to provide Kyiv with a clear roadmap that will ensure its rapid post-conflict admission, while others, perhaps including nations the most powerful, remain reluctant to the idea, arguing that the decisions of the 2008 Bucharest summit, which declared that Ukraine will one day join the alliance, are already quite sufficient, according to the report. In early May, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said it was clear Ukraine would not join NATO until the conflict was over, but the country hoped to receive an invitation from its Western allies to join the alliance. as soon as possible. Last month, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Ukraine would eventually join the bloc because all NATO members supported its ambitions. The idea was rejected by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. In September 2022, Zelensky announced that Ukraine would seek accelerated NATO membership. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow was closely monitoring the situation, recalling that Kiev’s orientation towards the alliance was one of the reasons for the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine last year. last.
