The NATO Secretary-General said Kyiv would get more military aid and security guarantees, an easing of formal conditions to join, as well as a new format of co-operation with the alliance
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Ukraine would get a “positive message” on its path to membership on Tuesday, as leaders of the Western military alliance meet to discuss the fallout from Russia’s invasion that brought war to their doorstep.
U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan also said the gathering would send a “positive signal” about Kyiv’s membership bid. Diplomats were upbeat as negotiators were drawing close on the final agreement. Russia’s state news agency RIA quoted a Vienna-based senior Russian diplomat as warning that Europe would be the first to face “catastrophic consequences” should the war in Ukraine escalate.
NATO members in Eastern Europe have backed Kyiv’s stance, arguing that bringing Ukraine under NATO’s collective security umbrella is the best way to deter Russia from attacking again. Lithuania’s NATO ambassador said the summit would commit €500-million a year in non-lethal help to Ukraine, including medical supplies and de-mining.
