Ukraine at the Vilnius summit will receive an algorithm  for joining NATO . This was stated by Deputy Defense Minister Vladimir Gavrilov.

He noted that at the summit in July, the NATO countries “will come to a certain procedure for Ukraine’s entry, which will be fixed.” Gavrilov added that despite the consensus decision-making mechanism and the right of veto of the Alliance member countries, he does not predict that there will be big problems with making a decision on Ukraine.

“There are all signs that Ukraine will get what it wants in a certain format,” Gavrilov expressed confidence.

“Even now at the summit in Vilnius, Ukraine must clearly understand that after the war, say, within a year or two, after certain procedural things are carried out, we will be members of NATO,” the deputy minister explained.

Ukraine’s accession to NATO

In the fall of 2022, Ukraine applied to join NATO. The Alliance itself did not categorically comment on this, however, they stated that entry was possible only after the end of the war. At the same time, on June 2 this year, British Defense Minister Ben Wallace said that Kiev would not be able  to join NATO  in the near future. 

And on June 3, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that it would make no sense for Ukraine to participate in the  NATO summit  in Vilnius  if, following its results  , the country does not have clear signals regarding the timing of admission.

  1. More useless bullshit from Nato. What are these unprincipled arseholes going to do to stop putler’s genocide?
    This is a bit like FDR in 1939. He decided to sit it out for two years whilst Britain fought alone against Germany and its ally Russia.
    He only decided to fully commit once Stalin had switched sides.

  2. How terrible. If Nato is not ready to fight it should be dissolved now and turned into an organization with the goal to protect the rainforest.

  3. NATO is on the same level as with every other international organization; useless. If it weren’t for putler having attacked Ukraine first, I doubt he would be discouraged from attacking one or more of the NATO members, like the Baltic States or Poland, seeing the many NATO members who have virtually no military and absolutely no courage. Some are even pro-mafia land (Hungary) and semi-pro (Turkey). Not even the US can be fully depended on with a POTUS who never gets out of his soiled breeches.
