Ukraine into NATO is the only way to prevent Russian aggression, as Ukraine’s Western allies are hesitant about allowing the war-torn country in the alliance.
“NATO should extend an invitation for membership to Ukraine as part of guaranteeing its future security,” the Lithuanian Defence Minister Laurynas Kasčiūnas said.
Kasčiūnas also said “Russia needs to know that it can’t have a ‘veto’ over another country, or over the future size of NATO”.
“Lithuania always supported Ukraine’s invitation into the NATO, because in our understanding, you cannot send the message to Russia that they have at least informal veto power on NATO’s enlargement,” said the minister.
