I addressed all 31 NATO foreign ministers ahead of their informal meeting in Oslo. Three steps to make Vilnius summit a success:

1) Strengthen Ukraine-NATO institutional ties and assistance
2) Take a step toward UA membership
3) Provide security guarantees on UA’s path to NATO.
The agenda for the upcoming NATO summit is expected to be discussed by foreign ministers at a meeting in Oslo on Wednesday and Thursday.
Prior to this, various ideas were put forward to meet Kyiv's Euro-Atlantic aspirations – from the adoption of a separate declaration and providing security guarantees based on the Israeli model to the creation of a new Ukraine-NATO Council.
The summit's agenda will also supposedly include the expansion of the Comprehensive Assistance Package for Kyiv, aimed at helping the Ukrainian Armed Forces move away from Soviet-era doctrines, weapons and standards.
Earlier, Jens Stoltenberg, the Secretary-General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), has once again said that granting NATO membership to Ukraine during a full-scale war with Russia is not realistic.
