President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, assured that he would deal with NATO leaders meeting in Vilnius, Lithuania, who provide security guarantees for Ukraine on the way to NATO.

This is because the members of the alliance have expressed their unanimous support for the accession of Ukraine, marking a “clear direction” for their future infiltration once the Russian invasion is over.

In statements upon his arrival, the Ukrainian president said he was going to the summit with three priorities: new Western weapons packages to support the Ukrainian counter-offensive in the ground as well as to discuss the terms of an invitation to join NATO and possible security guarantees Allies can provide to avoid gray areas in their accession process.

We want to be on the same wavelength And we hear that we will have an invitation when security conditions allow it,” Zelensky said.

In this sense, he reaffirmed that during his meeting with Allied leaders to launch the NATO-Ukraine Council, a consultation mechanism with which Kiev will consult and resolve security issues on an equal basis with the Allies, he will discuss security guarantees. “I will fight for security guarantees for Ukraine on its way to NATO,” he stressed.

This Tuesday, 31 Allied leaders agreed to offer Ukraine an invitation to join the alliance as soon as he meets the security conditions, a promise to renew the commitment already expressed in 2008 to one day include Kyiv in the organization.

So NATO is taking a step forward, though does not use temporary reference to the entry of Ukraine, thereby satisfying Germany and the United States, who were most reluctant to extend an invitation to Kyiv that was claimed by Eastern European countries such as Poland and the Baltic states.
