NATO is set to announce long-term support for Ukraine at its upcoming summit in Ankara, while the US continues efforts for a peaceful settlement.
WASHINGTON, July 1. /TASS/. NATO will announce long-term, sustainable commitments to support Ukraine at its summit in Ankara on July 7-8, US Permanent Representative to NATO Matthew Whitaker said.
"You should expect long-term sustained commitments to the support of Ukraine that will help them continue to stay in the fight. <...> And at the same time, signal to Russia that this war should be ended," he said at a briefing for reporters, commenting on the upcoming NATO summit. The US diplomat did not give any further details.
Whitaker also stressed that the United States would continue working toward a peaceful settlement in Ukraine. At the same time, he argued that neither Kiev nor Moscow was currently ready to reach an agreement.
"We want to make a deal, but this takes two to tango, as has been said by our president [Donald Trump]. And you know, right now it does not seem that either side ultimately is willing to agree to the same deal. We'll keep pushing and we'll keep talking," Whitaker said.
