Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba notes the importance of providing Ukraine with prospects for NATO membership at the Alliance summit in Vilnius, scheduled for July 11-12 this year, the Telegram channel of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.

"To establish the Ukraine-NATO Council in Vilnius without taking a decisive step towards membership is like providing a tank without a cannon. Ukraine needs NATO as a member state of the Alliance, and not just a privileged partner," Kuleba said after a conversation with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.

The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry also expressed gratitude to the German side for its support.
