Exclusive: Oleksii Reznikov says entry to alliance non-negotiable and pledges need to be made now
Ukraine’s defence minister has raised the stakes before the next Nato summit, saying he expects a “guarantee” that his country will be invited to join the military alliance at the conclusion of the war with Russia, describing membership as non-negotiable.
Before the 33rd meeting of the alliance’s leaders taking place in a fortnight in Vilnius, Oleksii Reznikov said Kyiv recognised that accession to Nato was not possible while the conflict continued but insisted hard pledges over the future would need to be made.
