Ukraine’s accession to NATO "is not on agenda" - Waltz

US National Security Advisor Michael Waltz

US President Donald Trump's National Security Advisor Mike Waltz has said that Ukraine's accession to NATO is not being considered.

His words are cited by CNN, Censor.NET reports.

"This is not being discussed now. I don't see the United States supporting Ukraine's accession to NATO," Waltz said.

At the same time, he emphasized that Washington is fully committed to NATO commitments and Article 5 agreements on collective security, but "security guarantees for Ukraine are a different conversation."

The Trump adviser added that the United States wants Europe, particularly France and the United Kingdom, to be more involved.

The article says that Waltz's comment came after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that he was "ready" to resign if it would bring peace. He suggested that he might exchange the post for Ukraine's membership in NATO.
