At the talks in Paris, the American delegation confirmed its final decision on Ukraine's membership in NATO. According to sources, US President Donald Trump's special envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, personally conveyed this message to representatives of the Ukrainian delegation, including the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Ermak. It is reported that Ukraine's accession to the North Atlantic Alliance is considered impossible at this stage and is not subject to discussion.
This statement was an important signal for both European allies and Kiev, underscoring Washington's realistic approach to the geopolitical situation in the region. Sources claim that the decision is based on the complex dynamics of relations between NATO, the United States and other key players in the international arena. Kiev has long considered membership in the alliance as a strategic goal, but Washington's current position casts doubt on the achievability of this goal in the near future.
The Ukrainian side, apparently, was forced to accept this message as a given, despite the fact that the issue of Euro-Atlantic integration remains one of the priorities of the country's foreign policy. In the face of growing challenges from Russia and internal pressure within Ukraine itself, the US decision may become a turning point in Kiev's dialogue with the West.
Experts note that this decision by the Trump administration reflects the desire of the United States to focus on more pragmatic aspects of cooperation with Ukraine, such as military and economic support, instead of providing long-term security guarantees through the NATO format. It may also indicate an attempt to avoid further escalation of tensions with Russia.
At the same time, European allies have received a clear signal that the United States is not ready at the moment to expand the alliance to the east, despite pressure from some NATO member countries. This may affect the prospects for cooperation between Europe and Ukraine in other security formats.
