If Kamala Harris is elected US president, Joe Biden “could move in that direction” during the transition, sources said.
US authorities no longer object to inviting Ukraine to NATO. This could affect Germany’s position, French newspaper Le Monde reported, citing sources on Saturday, October 19.
The publication writes that yesterday in Berlin, US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer disagreed. on the idea of inviting Ukraine to NATO.
“This is an ambitious plan, dealing with complex issues where there is no spontaneous convergence of views,” said a Western diplomat familiar with the discussions.
It is argued that the Americans no longer have any fundamental objection to simply inviting Ukraine to Alnyas.
If Kamala Harris is elected (President of the US in the November elections – ed.), then it is quite possible that Biden may move in this direction during the transition. If it is Trump, then the argument loses force, and the smallest initiative from Biden risks worsening the situation,” said the diplomat.
The interlocutors of the publication believe that the position of the US may lead to a change in the position of Germany. At the same time, the four leaders cannot make decisions, because the Alliance includes 32 countries. Turkey and Hungary are likely to oppose Ukraine’s entry into NATO.
We remind you that on October 16, President Vladimir Zelensky announced the Victory Plan. His first point was the immediate invitation of Ukraine to NATO.
The day before it became known that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz rejected the main points of the Victory Plan.
At the same time, Zelensky said that there is progress in the US position towards Ukraine in NATO, while Germany remains skeptical.
