Ukraine should not expect an invitation to NATO in the near future.
This opinion was expressed by US ambassador to the alliance Julianne Smith, APA reports with a reference to Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
In her opinion, now is not the right time for such decisions.
‘We are not at the point now for the alliance to be talking about inviting in the short term,’ she said at an online briefing.
At the same time, she said, NATO still believes that Kiev could one day become a member of the alliance.
She also reiterated the readiness of the alliance members to continue providing Ukraine with military support. According to Smith, the Ukrainian Armed Forces need supplies of air defence systems and artillery most of all.
