Ukraine will not be accepted into the Alliance while the war is going on - Martin Yeager

“There is a consensus in NATO, and I think here in Ukraine with the Government of Ukraine, that NATO membership is unrealistic while there is a war.”

This was stated by the German Ambassador in Kyiv Martin Jaeger.

Speaking about how the war could end, Yeager said that the West will not give instructions to Ukraine. But at the same time he spoke out against “Minsk-3” - that is, freezing the war along the front line.

"We will not give Ukraine any instructions. If there are any negotiations, we will stand on the side of Ukraine. There will be no Minsk-3. Germany very much supports President Zelenskyy’s Peace Formula (it implies a demand to withdraw Russian troops beyond borders of 1991 - Ed.). We consider this a suitable approach to end this war," the ambassador said.
