Canada is among those who are diminishing.
Ukraine was also the focus of focus at the meetings, with bread that the alliance discussed the importance of support.
Trump said on Wednesday that he had spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the phone, saying that Ukraine could not return all its land nor join NATO.
These remarks have raised alarm bells for both Kiev and European allies in NATO, who said they feared the White House could make a contract without them.
“We, as an independent country, will not be able to accept any agreement without us.”
He said that Putin's purpose is to bilaterally with the United States, and it must not be allowed.
Asked if Ukraine would begin a dialogue as a weakness, bread did not agree.
“Even if the conversation begins, they will not end one day or the other day, so, they say, there is a way where we have to make sure the conversation is successful,” he said.
“It is important that we make a peace contract and at the same time, make sure Putin believes that the West is united, that Ukraine is getting all the help of it that it needs to prevail.”
British Secretary of Defense John Haley told reporters at the NATO headquarters, “Without Ukraine, no talks about Ukraine can be discussed. And Ukraine's voice should be in the heart of any conversation.
In response to reporters related to European joining, Roti said the allies have consulted “between each other”, including the United States, and said they were working to get “on the same page”.
Although it is yet to be seen what can happen during the peace talks, the bread emphasized that although the alliance has obliged NATO membership for Ukraine in the future, it was not part of peace talks.
“What I have said permanently is that we have to make sure that whatever the result, we have to make sure that Vladimir Putin will never try to attack Ukraine,” he said.
“But it has never been promised from Ukraine that as part of a peace deal, they will be in NATO.”
