Seven member states of the alliance oppose Ukraine’s joining NATO.
Politico quoted sources among officials and diplomats as saying that this was reported by Report.
The publication notes that the countries opposing the idea are led by the United States and Germany, two of Kiev’s biggest supporters, who are afraid of being drawn into a direct war with Russia.
In addition, Slovakia and Hungary are also against it, but because of the pro-Russian line of their governments, the newspaper emphasises.
Spain, Belgium and Slovenia are also named as countries opposed.
‘Countries like Belgium, Slovenia or Spain are hiding behind the US and Germany. They don’t want to,’ a NATO official told the publication.
