The UK could be in favour of offering Ukraine a shorter route to NATO accession, indicated James Cleverly, the Foreign Secretary of United Kingdom, APA's Britain bureau reports.

James Cleverly said during a conference on Ukrainian reconstruction the UK would be “very supportive” if it was decided Kyiv did not need to go through the membership action plan stage of the process to join NATO.

“We have seen Ukraine evolve, and evolve incredibly quickly,” he told a press conference during the Ukraine Recovery Conference in London.

“Jens Stoltenberg, at the NATO informal Foreign Ministers (summit), said that actually, many of the requirements of membership action plan are actually being delivered," the minister noted.
