President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Ukraine should receive an invitation to NATO when security measures allow for it.

"We will have this invitation when security measures will allow [for it]," Zelenskyy said.
Zelenskyy said that he will also discuss with his partners the issue of Ukraine's armaments and the situation on the battlefield.
"We will also speak today and fight for this, the security guarantees for Ukraine on the way to NATO," the president said.
The decision of the Vilnius summit includes quite positive wording regarding Ukraine. In particular, the NATO summit agreed to remove the requirement for the Membership Action Plan on Ukraine's path to the Alliance. At the same time, the allies made it clear that they would invite Ukraine to join NATO "when the conditions are met".
The summit decision does not include a list of conditions to be fulfilled by Ukraine, but a mechanism for their assessment is defined. The Annual National Program (ANP) will be a tool for monitoring the reforms implemented by Ukraine. This tool is already at the disposal of Ukraine.
