Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga sent a letter to his colleagues from NATO countries in which he called for an invitation to Kyiv to join the Alliance during a meeting in Brussels next week.
This was reported today, November 29, by Reuters, which managed to get acquainted with the text of the letter.
“I urge you to support the decision to invite Ukraine to join the Alliance as one of the results of the meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers on December 3-4, 2024,” he wrote in the letter.
NATO has previously said that Ukraine will join the alliance and that it is on an irreversible path to membership. But no official invitation was sent and no time frame was set.
According to the agency, there is still no consensus among Alliance members regarding inviting Ukraine at this stage – any such decision would require the consent of all 32 NATO member countries.
But Sibiga, in his letter written in English, argues that now is the time to send an invitation.
We believe that at this stage the invitation should be granted,” he wrote.
This would be an appropriate allied response to the constant escalation of the Russian-led war, the latest demonstration of which is the involvement of tens of thousands of North Korean troops and the use of Ukraine as a testing ground for new weapons, Sibiga added.
