BRUSSELS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 22nd May, 2023) There is no consensus in NATO regarding prompting Ukraine's membership in the alliance, but the issue will be discussed at a summit in Vilnius, NATO Deputy Secretary-General Mircea Geoana said on Monday.

"Our leaders will decide (at the Vilnius summit in July) what would be on one of these steps towards moving Ukraine even closer to us.
