Nato summit: Allies refuse to give Ukraine timeframe on joining
Nato states have said Ukraine can join the military alliance " when allies agree and conditions are met" after President Volodymyr Zelensky criticised the " absurd" delay to accession.
In a communique, Nato said it recognised the need to move faster but would not be drawn on a timeframe.
Earlier Mr Zelensky said there seemed to be " no readiness" to invite Ukraine to Nato or make it a member.
He is now in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, where The Summit is happening.
Kyiv accepts it cannot join Nato while it is At War with Russia but wants to join as soon as possible after fighting ends.
At a briefing on Tuesday afternoon Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg said allies had reaffirmed that Ukraine would become a Nato member and had agreed to drop the procedural need for a formal membership action plan.
" This will change Ukraine's membership path from a two-step process to a one-step process, " He Said .
But Mr Zelensky tweeted that the lack of an agreed timeframe meant his country's eventual membership could become a bargaining chip.
" A window of opportunity is being left to bargain Ukraine's membership in Nato in negotiations with Russia. Uncertainty is weakness, " He Said .
His comments follow disagreement between Nato members on Ukrainian membership.
Some fear near-automatic membership for Ukraine would give Russia an incentive to both escalate and prolong The War resulting from its full-scale invasion of its southern neighbour.
In its communique, Nato said Ukraine had become " increasingly interoperable and politically integrated with the alliance" and had also made progress on reform. Member states would support further reform, it said.
Mr Stoltenberg will meet Mr Zelensky at the inaugural meeting of the Nato-Ukraine Council on Wednesday.
A series of military packages were also announced at The Summit on Tuesday.
A coalition of 11 nations will start training Ukrainian pilots to fly F-16 fighter jets at a centre to be Set Up in Romania in August, officials said.
Meanwhile Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying that Moscow would be forced to use " similar" weapons if the US supplied controversial cluster munitions to Ukraine.
The weapons release bomblets over a wide area and are banned by More Than 100 countries over their impact on civilians.
Mr Shoigu said Russia had similar cluster weapons but had So Far refrained from using them.
Rights groups say Russia and Ukraine have already used cluster munitions during the 17 months of war since Russia invaded last February.
