Ukraine's invitation to NATO depends on the next US administration
The question of inviting Ukraine to join NATO depends on the kind of administration in the United States. In particular, France is not against our country becoming part of the bloc.
This was stated by French Defense Minister Sébastien Le Coronneu, RBC-Ukraine reports citing his interview with La Tribune.
“It all depends on which administration is in the White House. We in France do not mind in principle. But we also have to be innovators,” Lecorneuil said.
He clarified that if a ceasefire is achieved one day, it cannot be said that Russia will not attack again. Therefore, it is necessary to find means to achieve a lasting peace.
The minister was also asked what he thought of the victory plan recently presented by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In response, Lecornu emphasized that some aspects are interesting and deserve to be worked on and documented.
According to the French minister, first of all, the plan shows that Ukraine is preparing for possible negotiations, and “our task is to help it sit down at the negotiating table with a favorable balance of power.”
“We have to keep in mind one question: what security guarantees can we offer Ukraine? Of course, this is NATO membership, but we can also do everything we can to help Ukraine build a strong army capable of deterring Russia in the long term,” he added.-
