VILNIUS (Reuters) -NATO members sought to overcome divisions over how to put Ukraine on a path to membership on the eve of Tuesday's start to a summit in Lithuania, apparently removing one hurdle to Kyiv joining the alliance.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said he had put forward a package that included the removal of the requirement for a Membership Action Plan (MAP) - a list of political, economic and military goals that other eastern European nations had to meet before joining the alliance.
