The journalists emphasize that these proposals, while obviously unable to meet Kyiv's immediate needs, will still be an important signal.
In addition, one Western diplomat noted that after Zelenskyy failed to get the missile restrictions lifted, Kyiv may receive some other assistance during the conference in Germany.
And it is precisely this kind of assistance that is likely to be the concrete steps of future NATO membership that the Alliance is considering.
Addendum
In turn, Ukrainian officials are concerned that the upcoming US presidential election could jeopardize the continuation of military aid.
In particular, at the moment Zelenskyy and his team are trying to convince US President Joe Biden to support the "victory plan." Kyiv claims that this could go down in history as part of his political legacy.
Meanwhile, Washington, according to The Washington Post, is cautious about making decisions that could affect the Democratic election campaign.
