Confirmedon an admission by the acting party plus an independent origin: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.
At their summit in Vilnius, NATO leaders declared that Ukraine's future is in NATO and that an invitation would be extended when allies agree and conditions are met, without naming the conditions; they dropped the requirement for a membership action plan. President Zelensky called the absence of a timeframe unprecedented and absurd. Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said NATO had abandoned Ukraine, and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called potential Ukrainian membership very dangerous for European security.
