Secretary of State Antony Blinken reaffirmed the U.S. commitment for Ukraine to eventually join NATO but held back commitments ahead of the alliance’s annual summit, which will take place in Washington in July.
“Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership,” Blinken told reporters Thursday in Brussels.
NATO allies agreed at the 2023 summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, that Ukraine can join NATO when certain conditions are met, but sparked criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Baltic allies for failing to set concrete goals and a timeline for Kyiv to join the alliance.
Ukraine’s supporters are crafting ways to demonstrate robust international support for Kyiv that can be announced at NATO’s Washington summit, marking the 75th anniversary of the alliance.

“It’s not Russia’s fault that you believe silly propaganda and don’t realize what the Russians are capable if they feel the need to exert their military power.”
Kiev in 3 days?
Imagine how we would feel if Quebec joined the Warsaw Pact during the Cold War.
This is all theater. If they actually started WW3 over Ukraine being in NATO, AND we had a draft…. There would be a revolt in this country. Does anyone else remember the left fear mongering about drafts during Trump and Bush? I do. They know the political will isn’t there.
This is all about money. It needs to go there “so that Americans don’t die” and the political class profits.
And Blinken’s big mouth PROVES that Putin’s reason for invading Ukraine is not just an excuse, but based on real concerns.
Hey, Didjall know that Blinken’s Parents run some kind of foundation , or similar scam, that is funded by Soros to the tune of tens of millions of dollars?
I don’t recall a gay dancer with no moral foundation being the president of Poland, do you?
There will never be a draft again because it's unconstitutional.
Everyone of those in the photo looks younger than my 16-year old nephew.
The Russians got all the land they wanted out of this war by September of 2022. That's the reality you don't want to face.
Blinky wants to get in on some war action
If Ukraine’s mineral wealth is $14 trillion, why are we sending anything to them, they can buy their weapons on credit. We cannot afford them.
You don’t get wealthy using your own money. You get wealthy by having others use their money.
This article estimates 26 trillion.

Of course. It was just a feint, comrade
XLNT thanks
Isn't Jeffrey Sachs one of those sustainable development globalists y'all love to denigrate? And, ironically, wasn't Russia a client of his?
The USA is only a "bad guy" if you take the position that agreeing to accept an independent country into NATO when it requests admission is somehow wrong. That's the only way it can happen. NATO cannot force its' desires on anyone.
Which is odd because Ukraine just lowered the draft age from 27 to 25.

Maybe the pic is fake or their version of ROTC being presented as young people going off to war to pull at heartstrings in the West.
