Biden initially wanted to invite Ukraine to NATO but changed his mind; Bloomberg reported the reason behind this decision.

The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden considered the possibility of publicly calling for an official invitation for Ukraine to join NATO. However, they decided against it.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing Bloomberg.

Given the low likelihood of success in the short term, the Biden administration opted to postpone the official invitation for NATO membership.

At the same time, the publication noted that a series of bilateral security agreements will be established, which will provide Ukraine with certain guarantees.

Security Guarantees for Ukraine from Partners

At the end of April, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine is working with the U.S. to conclude a 10-year security guarantee agreement. Work is already underway on the "specific text" of the document.

Currently, it is known that the head of the Office of the President, Andriy Yermak has already held the third round of negotiations with the U.S. regarding the security guarantee agreement for Ukraine. The parties notably reported significant progress.

It is important to note that last year, G7 countries signed a joint declaration on security guarantees for Ukraine. Any country willing to agree on a bilateral level to provide military or financial support to Ukraine can join this declaration.

Additionally, Ukraine has already established security agreements with over 20 countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and other European nations. Last month, such an agreement was also reached with Croatia.
