– Leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on Tuesday failed to set a timetable for Ukraine's membership of the alliance, following the first day of the NATO summit in Lithuanian capital Vilnius.

– NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said allies have agreed on a package of three elements to "bring Ukraine closer to NATO." However, he clarified that an invitation for Ukraine to join the alliance will be issued "when allies agree and conditions are met."

– Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the NATO decision "unprecedented and absurd" for not setting a time frame and its vague wording of "conditions." 

– Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Tuesday accused NATO of treating Russia like an "enemy" and said the West does not understand the risks of NATO expansion toward its borders.

– Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said late on Tuesday that the increase in military assistance to Ukraine by the NATO alliance brings World War III closer.
