On Tuesday, Stoltenberg proposed to cancel the membership action plan for Ukraine, which will allow to shorten Kiev's accession process from a two-step to a one-step one.
"Allies reaffirm that Ukraine will become member of NATO and agreed to remove the requirement for a membership action plan," Stoltenberg said at a joint press conference after the end of the second day of the NATO Summit in Vilnius.
The G7 has published a joint declaration on Ukraine that states:
G7 countries will support Ukraine as long as needed
Russian assets will remain frozen until Ukraine is “compensated”
Long-range arms are of top priority for Ukraine
G7 will provide protection for Ukraine from possible future threats
Declaration implies intelligence sharing between countries
G7 will support the development of the Ukrainian defense industry
G7 will organize drills for the Ukrainian Army
Other countries may join the declaration anytime.
