The UK foreign secretary, James Cleverly, has said all Nato allies are backing a plan to give Ukraine a fast track to Nato membership of the kind offered to Sweden and Finland earlier this year.
Speaking on the margins of the two-day Ukraine Recovery conference in London, Cleverly said the UK was “very, very supportive” of Ukraine being able to join Nato without the usual need for it to meet the conditions set out in a Nato membership action plan (Map).
The French foreign minister, Catherine Colonna, was more cautious but said circumstances had changed since 2008 when Ukraine was last offered Nato membership on the condition it met the terms set out in an action plan.
The issue of the terms on which Ukraine is offered Nato membership has been dividing allies before a Nato summit next month. There have been concerns in the US and Germany that early Nato membership for Ukraine might provoke Russia, and change the Nato structure.
Cleverly said the Ukrainian army through the war had modernised and aligned its weaponry with Nato to make it possible to dispense with an action plan. The offer is conceived as an alternative to offering Ukraine a timetable for membership at the Nato summit in Vilnius next month. Ukraine would like a pathway with specific dates.
All sides have agreed that Ukraine cannot join Nato – and thus be covered by its guarantee that an attack on one is an attack on all – until the war is over. But the offer to drop the Map would be a signal of European intent.

I wonder why NATO is so interested in having a nuclear war with Russia?
This makes total sense. Once admitted, the Ukrainian level of corruption will have lowered the bar throughout the NATO membership on the acceptable level of corruption.
None of these jackass nations want to pay their bills and build militaries. Which tells us that the idea is to send US troops into Ukraine and spur a nuke conflict.
Total idiots.
So who will be paying for Ukraine’s donations to NATO?
it’s illegal to join when you are already at war.
The western world now looks at rules and the law as optional.
Insane. A sign of desperation.
“The western world now looks at rules and the law as optional”
If that keeps up they might even end up invading a sovereign country after proclaiming they have no intention of invading. Then destroy its cities, kill its people and annex its territory.
Nailed it.
Only an idiotic clown would want this.
Soros and the World Economic Forum keep making their empire larger and larger.
Some idiotic clowns desperately want this, including more than a few who pose as members of this forum, which explains the regular postings of these hopeful articles.
-Pathetic. Go away.
That was my first thought.
Leftists have realized that there are no repercussions for ignoring “law”. They disregard it with arrogant impunity.
I believe they get a great deal of entertainment and personal satisfaction out of this dynamic, and is the souce of much merriment amongst their ranks.
Yes. No. Maybe. No. Yes. Yes. No. Perhaps. No. Yes. Yes. No. Maybe. No. yes. Yes. No. Perhaps. No. Yes. Yes. No. Maybe. No. Yes. Yes. No. Perhaps. No. Yes. Yes. No. Maybe. No. Yes. Yes. No. Perhaps. No. Yes. Yes. No. Maybe. No. Yes. Yes. No. Perhaps. No. Yes. Inevitable now. Or not. Yes. No. Maybe. No. Yes. Yes. No. Perhaps. No. Yes.
Clearly an indication that the “love of money is the root of all evil” is still in the memory of a few of us.
“All Nato allies are backing a plan to give Ukraine a fast track to Nato membership”
In other words the entire Western alliance backs a fast track to nuclear war. I guess the plan to starve its citizens to death by reducing food production was going to take too long. Nato membership for Ukraine MAKES NO SENSE unless Western leaders purposely want to destroy their countries. Who would that benefit? Only China.
