As a result of an urgent meeting of the National Security and Defense Council, it was decided that Ukraine should apply for NATO membership under an accelerated procedure.

The White House believes that the issue of Ukraine’s membership in the North Atlantic Alliance should be decided “later”, and now it is more urgent to give it support to resist Russian aggression. This was announced on Friday, September 30, at a briefing on Friday, said the National Security Adviser to the President of the United States, Jake Sullivan, European Pravda reports.

“The United States has been clear for decades that it supports NATO’s open-door policy. Any decision on NATO membership is made between the 30 members of the Alliance and the countries that seek to join it. Now, in our opinion, the best way to Support Ukraine is practical support for Ukraine “on the ground”, while the process in Brussels should be dealt with at another time,” he said.

In turn, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba published a post on Facebook with comments on Ukraine’s application for membership in the North Atlantic Alliance. According to the head of Ukrainian diplomacy, the acquisition of NATO membership by Ukraine under the new circumstances does not require the submission of a Membership Action Plan (MAP), which allows Ukrainian partners not to repeat the mistakes of the 2008.

On the air of the telethon, Kuleba noted that the next step after Ukraine submits an application, all NATO member states should issue an invitation to Ukraine to join the Alliance.

“The decision was made by consensus. The next step is for all NATO member states to issue an invitation to Ukraine to join the Alliance. And until a consensus is formed, of course, the NATO Secretary General could not say what he was thinking, “he. said.

Recall, on Friday, Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukraine signed an application for accelerated entry into the North Atlantic Alliance and called on Western partners to implement proposals prepared by Ukraine for security guarantees set in Kiev Security Treaty (Kyiv Security Compact).

The Secretary General of NATO said that Ukraine has the right to apply for membership, but the priority now is assistance.

Remember, the Foreign Ministers of the Baltic countries and the Canadian Foreign Minister said that their states are in favor of Ukraine joining the North Atlantic Alliance as soon as possible.
