For reference:
A summit of NATO countries took place in Vilnius on July 11 and 12, one of the main topics of which was Ukraine.
In the final communique of the summit, published on the Alliance's website, the heads of state and government of the North Atlantic Alliance recognized Ukraine's progress on the path of Euro-Atlantic integration. They confirmed that Ukraine's future lies with NATO.
In addition, NATO heads of state and government agreed to drop the requirement for a Membership Action Plan for Ukraine. They said they would invite Ukraine to join the Alliance after "fulfilling the conditions."
In addition, the leaders of the G7 countries agreed on the "Joint Declaration of Support for Ukraine" on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Vilnius.
Andrii Yermak said that Ukrainian diplomats have already started negotiations on security guarantees with the USA.
