During the process of creating a so-called membership card, candidates receive assessments and advice on meeting NATO criteria for defense and other issues. If Ukraine skipped this stage, it would put it in the same category as the new member of the Alliance – Finland. For comparison, North Macedonia took part in the 20-year program before joining in 2020.
Cleverly suggested that the United Kingdom would support proposals that Ukraine would not be required to go through the membership action plan phase to join the North Atlantic Alliance.
We saw how Ukraine developed and developed incredibly fast, – Cleverly noted the reform of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the war.
He added that Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at an informal summit of NATO foreign ministers on the implementation of many of the requirements of the membership action plan.
In addition, statements by French President Emmanuel Macron and reports of discussions in Paris suggest that France is now more inclined to support Ukraine’s NATO membership than before.
Recall that Romania supported Ukraine’s membership in the North Atlantic Alliance. This was announced by the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Dmitry Kuleba.
As Western leaders prepare for the July 11-12 NATO summit in Vilnius, they are trying to agree on a response to Ukraine’s calls for a clear “path” to join the alliance, which it could quickly follow once the factor of war against Russia is removed.
