Nov 29, 2024, 04:48 PM

Ukraine has renewed its push for NATO membership as Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha formally urged NATO counterparts to issue an invitation for Kyiv to join the alliance during a meeting in Brussels next week. This request aligns with President Zelensky's broader strategy to end the war with Russia and counters the Kremlin's agenda to block Ukraine's entry. However, Ukraine acknowledges that there is currently no consensus among NATO allies on extending an invitation. The Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister confirmed this understanding in a statement to Reuters.
