Question of Ukraine’s membership in NATO is almost resolved, Putin does not have right of veto, - Stoltenberg

Only Ukraine and NATO members decided to offer membership.

As reported by Censor.NET with reference to Voice of America, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said this.

"Allies have repeatedly stated that they agree that Ukraine will become a member of the Alliance. The last time all NATO Allies made this statement was at the Summit in Madrid last summer. Later, we unanimously decided that only Ukraine and the members of the organization should decide when it is time to formally invite Ukraine to join NATO. And this does not depend on Moscow and Putin. He has no veto over NATO's expansion," he explained.

Stoltenberg added that there is agreement on another important issue - Ukraine's victory in the war, not Putin's.

"Because if Ukraine ceases to exist as a sovereign, independent, democratic, European state, then discussing its membership in NATO will make no sense at all," the Alliance's Secretary General added.
