"In the end, it will be a decision by the allies to invite Ukraine to join NATO," he said.

Macron recalled last year's NATO summit in Vilnius, which Kyiv was not invited to attend, despite public criticism from Ukraine.

"Ukrainians were quite annoyed when they concluded that the door [to NATO] was open, but not that much.

And I think the scenario for the Washington summit is the same," Macron said.
