With a meeting of allies in the Ramstein format, the alliance could offer new ways for Kyiv’s future membership.
NATO countries are considering ways to provide Ukraine with more concrete steps for future membership in the alliance, but not as quickly as Kyiv would like. This was stated in an article by The Washington Post published on October 5.

According to him, NATO countries are considering ways to provide Ukraine with more concrete steps for future membership in the alliance, although, in all likelihood, they are still not fast enough, as Kyiv demands.
“Zelensky’s team is trying to convince Biden to support the Victory Plan as a way to cement Biden’s legacy before the end of his term. But the White House is unlikely to take any unpopular action now, so as not to risk Kamala Harris’ campaign,” the article notes.
We remind you that on October 12, the 25th meeting in the Ramstein format will take place in Germany, and the first will be with the participation of the leaders of Western countries. The President of the United States is among them.
