Ukraine's path to NATO may be long
Journalists asked Jens Stoltenberg whether such a development, according to which Ukraine will join the bloc within the next ten years, is possible.
I really hope that Ukraine (at this time — ed.) will become an ally, — answered the current Secretary General.
It is also worth noting that on the eve of the July NATO summit in Washington, Stoltenberg also called for even greater military aid to Ukraine.
The stronger our support, the sooner this war (the Russian Federation against Ukraine—ed.) can end. The more we commit ourselves long-term, the sooner the war can end.
