Ukraine has intensified its push for NATO membership, with Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha urging NATO members to issue an invitation for Ukraine to join the alliance at the upcoming meeting of foreign ministers in Brussels next week. This move aligns with President Volodymyr Zelensky's strategy to end the ongoing war with Russia by securing NATO membership. Despite the urgency conveyed by Ukraine, NATO diplomats have indicated that there is currently no consensus among members to extend such an invitation at this stage, according to Reuters.
