NATO prepared to back Ukraine in its fight against Russia but not to extend membership

21 Sept 03:54 Key points summarised by AI

NATO leaders pledged more military aid to Ukraine but provided only vague assurances of future membership, contingent on consensus among allies and fulfilled conditions.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy sharply criticized NATO's "absurd" reluctance to establish a clear timeline for his country's entry, despite attending the summit.
Key Western nations, including the U.S., cited fears of direct conflict with Russia (Article 5) and concerns about Ukraine's stability and corruption as reasons to defer wartime membership.
Separately, G7 nations introduced a new long-term security framework for Ukraine, aiming to bolster its defense and deter future attacks, distinct from NATO accession.
