NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg: there is no consensus in the alliance on Ukraine's accession to NATO

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg revealed Ukraine's prospects for joining the union … His words are reported by TASS.

According to the Secretary General, the members of the alliance have not yet reached a consensus on this issue.

“They have not yet become members. But above all, we have strengthened our partnership, we are working with them more closely … To become a NATO member, we must meet NATO standards. We help them fight corruption, but 30 allies must come to an agreement, and now we do not have a consensus agreement in NATO on inviting Ukraine to become a full member, “Stoltenberg said.

He also said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wants “something more” than support, namely to achieve “full membership” in the organization.

Earlier, Stoltenberg refused to believe that Russia could pose a threat to the Baltic states. He announced this to Estonian Television. “Despite the significant increase in Russia's aggressiveness, there is currently no direct military threat to the Baltic states,” Stoltenberg said. At the same time, he noted that Russia still causes some concern and requires close attention.
