NATO member states will decide whether to invite Ukraine, if part of its territory is occupied, and under what conditions.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said this in an interview with the Interfax-Ukraine agency.
As Stoltenberg explained, it is the NATO allies who should decide “how membership should be applied or work for Ukraine, and we all realize that.”
“Of course, if we say that the only way for Ukraine to become a member is the end of the war and full control over the entire Ukrainian territory, then we give President Putin all the incentives to simply find a way to continue the war,” said the current Secretary General of the Alliance.
“But my main message is that NATO’s security guarantees are the way to ensure a lasting and just peace for Ukraine,” he added.
When asked whether a scenario in which Ukraine becomes a member of the Alliance with partially occupied territories is possible in principle, Stoltenberg emphasized that it is “to be decided by NATO allies.” But, he added, this should become a guarantee of preventing future aggression from Russia.
We will remind you that in the previous draft of the text of the joint communiqué of the North Atlantic Alliance, Ukraine’s path to joining the bloc was called irreversible. But some countries opposed this wording.
For example, French President Emmanuel Macron said that the United States and Germany are the main opponents of Ukraine joining the North Atlantic Alliance, so no breakthrough should be expected from the summit in Washington.
