Ukrainian president complains there is ‘no readiness’ to invite Kyiv to join, as Lithuania summit opens
Volodymyr Zelenskiy has accused Nato leaders of showing disrespect to Ukraine by refusing to offer Kyiv a timetable for when it will be invited to join the military alliance, in a last ditch effort to win a concession on membership at the start of a two-day summit in Lithuania.
The Ukrainian president complained there was “no readiness” to invite Ukraine to join, giving Russia the opportunity “to continue its terror” by leaving open the possibility for it to bargain over Ukraine’s future Nato membership in a peace deal.
