The United States, along with Germany and Hungary, opposes the intentions of other NATO member states (in particular, Poland and the Baltic countries) to offer Ukraine a “road map” for membership in the Alliance at the Vilnius summit. The Financial Times writes about this, citing four officials who participated in the negotiations.

According to the FT, all members of the military-political bloc, whose number rose to 31 this week, agree that Kiev’s accession to NATO is not a matter of the immediate future and can only be seriously discussed after the end of the war.
Diplomats who took part in the talks this week noted that there was serious debate among foreign ministers in Brussels over what exactly should be offered to Ukraine. In contrast to NATO’s broad unity after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the issue of Kyiv’s membership in the Alliance is divisive among allies.
According to the sources of the Financial Times, Washington suggests that the allies focus on providing military, financial and humanitarian assistance to Kyiv for the time being.
We will remind, earlier NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that Ukraine will become a member of NATO after the victory over Russia.
