NATO is currently not ready for decisive actions regarding Ukraine
Anonymous sources of journalists say that during the NATO summit in Washington, which should take place from July 9 to 11, Volodymyr Zelenskyy's team will not be offered anything that would help Ukraine advance on the way to membership in the Alliance.
One of the key reasons for this delay is the fear of some members of the bloc, who fear being drawn into a full-scale war with Russia.
Insiders also confirmed that the administrations of Joe Biden and Olaf Scholz are "extremely skeptical" about the prospect of Ukraine's further progress towards full NATO membership this year.
The anonymous sources also added that official Washington is not as worried as Berlin, but both capitals are afraid of the threat from Russia to other members of the alliance.
The USA and Germany persistently warned Ukraine against setting firm deadlines for joining NATO. For this reason, Zelenskyy was allegedly asked not to put pressure on individual allies so that they would once again come out in support of a clear timetable for Ukraine's accession, the publication writes.
