Nato-Gipfel in Vilnius: der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj mit dem britischen Premier Rishi Sunak und US-Präsident Joe Biden. — Not entirely satisfied, but grateful: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and US President Joe Biden at the NATO summit in Vilnius.

Would a concrete roadmap for Ukraine’s NATO membership deter Russia or drive it to escalation? When it came to the answer, the more reticent members of the alliance prevailed in Vilnius and offered Kyiv a perspective without a date. Volodymyr Zelenskiy nevertheless thanks them profusely – not least for large arms packages and possible security guarantees.

The announced dispute on the open stage did not take place. The NATO summit in Vilnius ended quite harmoniously on Wednesday. Ukraine is moving closer to the military alliance than ever before, said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg during his joint appearance with Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Both were at pains in unison to forget the differences of opinion in the alliance on the roadmap for Ukraine into NATO. The President of Ukraine did not repeat his demand for a date in the room with the heads of state and government, diplomats said.
