Lithuania's president, Gitanas Nauseda, believes that Providing Ukraine with a pathway to Nato membership is an achievable goal. He stated that while there may be interim security assurances discussed at the NATO summit, Ukraine ultimately belongs in the alliance. US President Joe Biden and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have shown support for providing security to Ukraine, but Nauseda emphasized that this is not a replacement for full-fledged NATO membership. Ukraine's foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, announced that NATO had dropped the requirement for the Membership Action Plan, simplifying and accelerating negotiations. The security situation in the region is deteriorating, with Russia's Wagner forces relocating to Belarus.
