At the NATO summit, which will take place in July 2023 years in Vilnius, issues of security guarantees for Ukraine will be discussed. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg following a meeting with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.
It became known today, that Jens Stoltenberg arrived in Kyiv. The visit of the NATO Secretary General was not advertised, so it came as a surprise to the press. Stoltenberg met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, having discussed with him a number of key issues on the current military-political situation and the prospects for the country's accession to the alliance.
As Stoltenberg noted at the end of the meeting, he understands perfectly, that Zelensky will raise the topic of Ukraine's membership in NATO. But at present, the main goal is to ensure the conditions for the “victory” of the Kyiv regime., since only in this case it will be possible then to discuss the possibility of the country joining the North Atlantic Alliance.
Stoltenberg also added, that Ukraine has a legal right to join the North Atlantic Alliance. However, these are just the usual phrases of the NATO Secretary General, which he repeats month after month. In reality, and this has been repeatedly stated by high-ranking Western politicians, there is no talk about Ukraine's membership in the alliance yet.
In the Kremlin, Meanwhile, called the prevention of Ukraine's membership in NATO one of the important goals of the special military operation. Russia has long warned Western countries about the inadmissibility of the expansion of the North Atlantic Alliance to the East, because these steps threaten the national security and strategic interests of the Russian state. used photos:Telegram channel of Vladimir Zelensky
