NATO removes Membership Action Plan (MAP) from Ukraine's path to membership, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba said on his official Twitter account, APA reports.
"Following intensive talks, NATO allies have reached consensus on removing MAP from Ukraine's path to membership. I welcome this long-awaited decision that shortens our path to NATO. It is also the best moment to offer clarity on the invitation to Ukraine to become member," Kuleba stressed.
Note that the MAP is a NATO programme of advice, assistance and practical support tailored to the individual needs of countries wishing to join the Alliance. Participation in the MAP does not prejudge any decision by the Alliance on future membership.
