Ukraine’s accession to NATO "is not on agenda" - Waltz

US President Donald Trump's National Security Advisor Mike Waltz has said that Ukraine's accession to NATO is not being considered.

His words are cited by CNN, Censor.NET reports.

"This is not being discussed now. I don't see the United States supporting Ukraine's accession to NATO," Waltz said.

At the same time, he emphasized that Washington is fully committed to NATO commitments and Article 5 agreements on collective security, but "security guarantees for Ukraine are a different conversation."

The Trump adviser added that the United States wants Europe, particularly France and the United Kingdom, to be more involved.

The article says that Waltz's comment came after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Sunday that he was "ready" to resign if it would bring peace. He suggested that he might exchange the post for Ukraine's membership in NATO. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3537674

Iceland to double military aid to Ukraine in 2025 – Prime Minister Frostadottir

In 2025, Iceland will increase its military aid to Ukraine, in particular through investments based on the Danish model, including demining projects and brigade recruitment.

This was announced by the Prime Minister of Iceland Kristrún Frostadóttir, Censor.NET reports citing Ukrinform.

She noted that, despite the lack of armed forces in Iceland, the country has sufficient resources to assist Ukraine through its own security.

"It is very important that we demonstrate our support through our actions. We are a country that has no armed forces, but we have prosperity because we have security. We are well aware that the security of Europe is extremely important. That is why we are doubling our military assistance to Ukraine," Frostadottir said.

She clarified that the funds will be used to support Denmark's investment initiative, demining projects with Lithuania, and to equip Ukrainian brigades. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3537662
