NATO decided on the prospects for the accession of Ukraine at the summits in Vilnius and Washington. Scholz believes that “there is no need for any new solutions beyond this at the moment.”
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that a country at war cannot become a member of NATO. Therefore, inviting Ukraine to the Alliance is not on the agenda, reports ZDF.
According to him, NATO decided on the prospects for the accession of Ukraine at the summits in Vilnius and Washington. Scholz believes that “there is no need for any new solutions beyond this at the moment.”
“A country at war cannot become a member of NATO. Everyone knows this, there is no disagreement here and in NATO, invitations are often quickly associated with membership,” said the German Chancellor.
He added that a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine requires balanced actions that, on the one hand, guarantee support for Kyiv, and on the other hand, ensure that it does not turn into a war between Moscow and NATO.
“Here I make my position very clear and will not change it,” stressed Scholz.
In the past, President Vladimir Zelensky has said that Germany has softened its skepticism about Ukraine joining NATO.
We remind you that the information in the media that says seven countries are against inviting Ukraine to NATO does not correspond to the truth. This was stated in the commentary of the press secretary of the Presidential Office, Seriya Nikiforov.
