According to a report on the German news television channel website on October 16, the new NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte reacted cautiously to Ukrainian President Zelensky's request to invite the country to join NATO as soon as possible. After weeks of secrecy, Zelensky first publicly proposed a five-point “victory plan” to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The core content is that NATO will issue an invitation to Ukraine to join this Western military alliance as soon as possible. Rutte said the plan was of course “a strong signal sent by Zelensky.” “That doesn't mean I can say here that I support the whole plan,” he explained. “It's a bit difficult because we need to understand a lot more about it.” Rutte mentioned the decisions made at the NATO summit in Washington this year. The meeting once again emphasized that a formal invitation can only be issued if all member States agree and all conditions for admission are met.
