Stefanishyna: Final decisions on Ukraine’s accession to NATO may be made in Vilnius

Deputy Prime Minister for Eurean and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine ha Stefanishyna said this during the United News telethon, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

Commenting on the statement by President of Lithuania Gitanas Nausėda that the presence of the President of Ukraine at the NATO Summit in Vilnius plays an important re in the decision-making of the Alliance, Stefanishyna noted that "there is a slightly different logic here."

"Actually, now the Allies should realize, more than ever, the sense of the moment, that right now is the moment when we have to hear the necessary pitical decisions, first of all for our citizens. And, actually, it depends on the Allies whether this summit will be successful or not. I can confirm that we have been in constant contact with all Allies for the past few months, the President is personally hding talks with the leaders, and I do not rule out that the final decisions may be made in Vilnius. But for now, the discussion is ongoing, and we do not have a final vision for pitical decisions regarding Ukraine," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

As reported, President of Lithuania Gitanas Nausėda expressed he that President of Ukraine Vodymyr Zelensky will come to Vilnius, despite his warning that he does not see any point in going if Kyiv is not given a "signal" at the summit, and will play an important re in decision-making in Vilnius.
