US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz said there are no discussions about Ukraine's accession to NATO at the moment. He emphasized that he is waiting for Europe to step up its efforts, according to CNN White House correspondent Alaina Trinh.
US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz said there is no discussion of Ukraine's accession to NATO.
“That is not on the table,” he emphasized, adding that security guarantees from European countries are a separate issue for Ukraine's ”future.”
According to Waltz, the White House expects Europe, including France and the United Kingdom, to take more active steps to support Ukraine in the face of the ongoing conflict with Russia.
Ukraine's accession to NATO
Pentagon Chief Pete Haggett's statements do not rule out the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO in the future. He emphasized that the issue of Euro-Atlantic integration will not be part of the negotiations between Kyiv, Washington, and Moscow, and the decision on accession will be made when the time is right and the necessary reforms are completed.
Hughes clarified that his comments did not contradict the prospect of Ukraine's membership in NATO, but that accession would not be discussed as part of negotiations with Russia. His statement clearly indicates that this issue is not a priority for the current negotiations between the states.
