NATO’s position on supporting Kiev remains “clear and unchanged”, despite the statements of the chief of staff of the Alliance Secretary General Stian Jenssen about the possibility of admitting Ukraine to NATO in case of territorial concessions in favor of Russia.

We support the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, as NATO leaders affirmed at the Vilnius summit in July. We will continue to support Ukraine for as long as it takes, and we are committed to achieving a just and lasting peace,” the military-defense bloc official said.
He stressed that Ukraine itself must decide when and under what conditions to achieve peace.
And it is obvious that there is a need for security arrangements that would guarantee that the war will not happen again,” the NATO interlocutor added to European Pravda.
At the same time, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov called the statement of one of the top officials of the alliance, who spoke about the possibility of Ukraine’s membership in NATO in exchange for giving up the territories occupied by Russia, a “strange stuffing”.
Not a single country after the Second World War passed such tests. Of course, you can give advice, today another leader made a statement about our lands. Pretty weird, in my opinion. We have to do our own thing – to drive the enemy out of our territory. (I mean) the statement of one of the NATO clerks, who said that we need to consider the issues of moving our territories in exchange for membership in NATO. Such a strange throw. It is completely incomprehensible why this was done,” Danilov pointed out.
Recall that today the media circulated a statement by the chief of staff of the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance, Stian Jenssen, who admitted that Ukraine could become a NATO member in the event of territorial concessions to Russia. According to him, discussions about the future status of Ukraine in the context of the North Atlantic Alliance after the war are already ongoing, in them, among other things, options are heard with the refusal of Kyiv from part of the territory.
At the NATO summit in July, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that Ukraine would receive an invitation to join the Alliance when “all allies agree and the conditions are met.”
