Jens Stoltenberg, admitted this during a debate in Brussels organized by the German Marshall Fund “there are different positions within the alliance on this issue”, adding that decisions in NATO must necessarily be taken by consensus.
Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelensky said earlier this month that he expects a “very clear message” at the meeting in Vilnius, Lithuania, that his country will be “in NATO after the war” with Russia.
“No one can say exactly what the final decision will be at the Vilnius Summit on this issue”Stoltenberg said.
“The ultimate guarantee of security will be NATO membership, but … that’s not something that will happen during a war,” he added.
“The question is, what are we going to decide and how are we going to tackle the issue of membership at the Vilnius Summit? It’s too early to know,” said the secretary-general.
According to Stoltenberg, once the war in Ukraine is over, “Make sure you have agreements in place to stop further Russian aggression. Partially provide military support to Ukraine to help it defend itself.”
