Volodymyr Zelensky Criticizes Nato’s Lack of Timetable for Ukraine’s Membership. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed his frustration over the absence of a timeframe for Ukraine’s accession to Nato, calling it “absurd.”
Zelensky criticized Nato leaders at the summit in Vilnius for failing to establish a clear pathway for his war-torn country to join the defensive alliance.
He argued that the delay provides motivation for Russia to continue its actions. While UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak voiced support for Ukraine’s Nato membership, the US and Germany are reportedly opposed to the idea.
Efforts are underway to secure a long-term multilateral deal to support Ukraine’s defense against Russian aggression.
The UK, US, France, and Germany are reportedly working on a security pact similar to the one Israel has with the US.
