Ukraine unlikely to receive formal NATO invitation due to ongoing war with Russia
Ukraine is unlikely to receive a formal invitation to join NATO at the alliance's upcoming summit in Vilnius due to its ongoing war with Russia.
However, Western allies are still negotiating language to signal their long-term commitment to Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been pushing for a concrete pledge that Ukraine will be welcomed as a member after the war.
NATO is working on a package of practical and political support for Ukraine, including helping it adopt Western military standards and determining the appropriate language to use regarding its bid.
The alliance is divided on the issue, but discussions are ongoing.
A meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Oslo brought the allies closer together on the question of what to offer Ukraine.

By the time Russia finishes hopefully there no be a Ukraine, all the NAZIS will be dead. Real news are carrying stories that the press in Ukraine are asking the soldiers to cover their NAZIS symbols when photos are being taken. Reliable sources say Ukraine has lost 300.000 NAZIS and are now grabbing kids and old men and sending them to the front. Life expectancy in Bakmut (sp) was 4 hours on the front line
