All NATO countries support Ukraine’s membership, but accession is impossible during the war - Morawiecki
Despite the fact that Ukraine did not receive an invitation, historic decisions were made at the NATO summit in Vilnius. All NATO members agree that Ukraine will become a member of the Alliance, but this is not possible in times of war.
This was stated in his podcast Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, reports Censor.NЕТ.
"We need to support Ukraine's Western aspirations. A free and sovereign Ukraine, and eventually a member of NATO's eastern flank, is how we see the future of our part of Europe, and this vision is shared by other leaders of the Alliance," Morawiecki said.
But, he adds, while the war is ongoing, making concrete decisions on Ukraine's accession to NATO "would be like reading coffee grounds."
However, in his opinion, the decisions of the Vilnius summit are still historic.
"NATO countries are finally waking up from a long geopolitical sleep. Russia's aggression against Ukraine has also finally ended the post-Cold War era, and today it is clear to everyone that the protection of the world order, the security of Western civilization and the free world requires concrete actions, not just a roundtable discussion," Morawiecki summarized.
As a reminder, following the NATO summit in Vilnius on July 11-12, Ukraine received a promise that it would become a member of the Alliance when "all conditions are met."
