Crowther, who previously served as special assistant to NATO's supreme allied commander Europe, said during an interview published by US government-funded media outlet Radio Free Europe on Sunday that NATO was currently "stuck" and prevented from making any moves to aid Ukraine at least until the alliance's summit takes place in Washington, D.C., in July.
