Ukraine can't join NATO until after war - Tajani

(see related) (ANSA) - ROME, JUL 10 - Ukraine's accession to NATO will have to wait until after the war sparked by the Russian invasion, Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said on Monday ahead of the NATO summit in Vilnius.
    "I think the most correct choice is to establish a NATO-Ukraine Council to prepare the ground for Kyiv's future accession, which will have to take place after the war," Tajani said on the sidelines of the Italy-Slovenia-Croatia trilateral meeting in Ancona.
    "This does not mean there won't be attention to Ukraine or that everything to guarantee the country's independence and freedom will not be done.
    "But I think you have to achieve the objective with steps that also make it possible to achieve peace". (ANSA).
