All NATO members have agreed that Ukraine will eventually join the military alliance, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced on Friday.

Stoltenberg's statement to reporters came ahead of the 11th meeting of the Ukrainian Defense Group at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany. However, Stoltenberg fell short of offering a timeline on when Ukraine could become a member of NATO and said the main focus now is to ensure the country prevails in the ongoing conflict with Russia.

In September 2022, Ukraine announced a bid for fast-track membership of NATO after Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow had annexed four Ukrainian regions partially controlled by Russia. Should Ukraine become a member of the military alliance, NATO would be obligated to take action to defend it against Russia in the ongoing war.

Correct. No reason for bloody Vlad to be satisfied with taking just the Eastern portion. Now he’ll go for the whole enchilada.

No reason for Russia not to take the whole thing now instead of reaching a reasonable negotiated settlement.

Concurring bump...although there's a deal to be made with Poland, Hungary, & Romania if Russia chooses to be generous.

“”All NATO members have agreed that Ukraine will eventually join the military alliance””

Full approval, interesting.

The Ukraine-NATO war is now over.

NATO bunker in non-NATO Ukraine taken out, 300 killed - Putin just DESTROYED NATO'S top Ukraine leaders with this attack, U.S. is silent.
