Ukraine will be offered specific steps to join NATO
As the publication notes, NATO countries are discussing the possibility of offering Ukraine more concrete steps regarding future membership in the alliance.
However, Ukrainian officials fear that the approach of the presidential elections in the United States may jeopardize further security assistance. Zelenskyi and his team are actively trying to convince Biden to support a victory plan that could become part of his political legacy. However, the White House is currently avoiding decisions that could affect the Democrats' election campaign, the newspaper writes.
Journalists emphasize that Ukraine is intensifying mobilization efforts. Special operation
of Ukraine in the Kursk region of Russia raised morale and showed the allies that Ukraine remains capable of offensive actions. However, Ukraine's offensive operation has slowed down and the country is losing ground, particularly in Vugledar, which was recently captured by Russian forces.
