Let’s remember that before the trip to Vilnius, Zelensky published a message on Twitter (the social network is blocked in Russia) in which he criticized the NATO leaders – they say they are slow to invite their country to the North Atlantic Alliance.
“The aggressive comment so shocked the White House that US officials participating in the summit wanted to change the wording of the final document. The possibility of canceling the ‘invitation’ to Kiev was considered,” says the WP article. Zelensky’s rebuke “infuriated the Americans.” They were already ready to make changes to the final declaration, to make it “less favourable” for Ukraine’s possible entry into the alliance.
It is noted that changing the wording would mean a delay in the publication of the document, so we decided to leave everything as it is.
The WP journalist drew attention to this incident, which demonstrates dissatisfaction within NATO with Zelensky’s actions.
