HAPPENING NOW: Pres. Biden meets with Ukrainian Pres. Zelenskyy in Lithuania.
Share to TwitterG-7 leaders including U.S. President Joe Biden stood alongside Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in Lithuania's capital on Wednesday to announce a new long-term security package for Ukraine's future, while reaffirming that Kyiv has a place in NATO -- but not yet.
"Today, the members of the G-7 are launching the Joint Declaration of Support for Ukraine to make it clear that our support will last long into the future," Biden told reporters."This starts the process by which each of our nations and any other nation who wishes to participate will negotiate long-term bilateral security commitments with and to Ukraine."
"Welcome to this first meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council," Stoltenberg said."This is truly a historic moment, allies and Ukraine sitting side-by-side as equals to address our common vision of Euro-Atlantic security." "At the end of the day, Russia does not get a vote in who joins NATO," Sullivan told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos during an interview Wednesday on"Good Morning America."
Meanwhile, Ukraine is pushing hard for NATO membership as Russia’s war presses on. Stoltenberg announced Tuesday that the bloc"will issue an invitation for Ukraine to join NATO when allies agree and conditions are met," pledging to speed up the process by eliminating bureaucratic hurdles, but without offering a timeline.
