According to diplomats, although Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga has asked his NATO colleagues to provide such an invitation, the chances of reaching a consensus among the 32 members of the alliance now look very low.
Ukraine hoped that this invitation would be an important step in its fight against Russia, as one of the main reasons for the Kremlin's war is the desire to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO. However, diplomats note that reaching the necessary agreement among the members of the alliance may take a long time.
At the meeting of NATO foreign ministers, it is planned to focus on further support for Ukraine, in particular, in order to strengthen its position in future negotiations, which may begin next year.
