NATO will not invite Ukraine to the alliance in the near future, US Permanent Representative to the association Julianne Smith has said.
‘We are not at a point right now where the alliance is talking about an invitation in the short term,’ RIA Novosti quoted her as saying.
At the same time, Smith said the alliance maintains its position that Ukraine will one day become a member.
Earlier, the German cabinet said that Volodymyr Zelenskyy failed to convince German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to change his position on Ukraine’s urgent admission to NATO.
