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".
