— The United States is opposing efforts by some European allies, including Poland and the Baltic states, to offer Ukraine a “road map” to NATO membership. Germany and Hungary are also resisting efforts to provide Ukraine with a path to join NATO at the alliance’s July summit.
Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has warned that he will only attend the summit if tangible steps are presented toward NATO membership.
In 2008, NATO said that Ukraine would become a member in the future. Still, France and Germany pushed back, concerned that the move would provoke Russia. Ukraine formally applied for NATO membership last year after Russia’s invasion, but the alliance remains divided on the path forward.
