President Zelensky criticises NATO “weakness” for denying Ukraine membership – BBC News

President Zelensky has accused Nato of weakness and uncertainty over the reluctance of some members to set a timetable for Ukraine to join the military alliance.

Nato leaders meeting in Lithuania have agreed that Ukraine can join but only when certain conditions are met.

Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance had never sent a stronger political and practical message about Ukraine’s path to membership, but made clear that it could not join while it was at war with Russia.
