President Zelenskyy said that Ukraine will not receive an invitation to join NATO until the war with Russia is over, as partner countries cannot extend a full invitation to a country at war.
The NATO summit demonstrated the unity of the allies in identifying Russia as the main threat to the Euro-Atlantic space, but Ukraine remained dissatisfied with the lack of an invitation to join the alliance.
