Ukraine will join NATO
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said that Ukraine will definitely become a member of the Alliance in the future.
We made a decision in Washington that Ukraine will join NATO. It's just a question of timing, he said in a conversation with journalists.
According to him, it now looks like Ukraine will become the 33rd member of NATO, although he did not rule out the possibility that another country could join earlier, and Ukraine would become the 34th.
So if there is a specific question: "when?", I cannot answer it now, at this moment. But we are working on all these areas so that they actually become a member of NATO one day.

When Ukraine can be invited to NATO
Head of State Volodymyr Zelenskyy expects Ukraine to receive an invitation to join NATO within the next few months.
On October 16, Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented the Victory Plan of Ukraine in the parliament, which consists of 5 main points and 3 secret annexes.
After that, he held meetings with the heads of factions and groups in the Verkhovna Rada. During them, they discussed the Victory Plan, international support and Russia's involvement of the DPRK in the war against Ukraine.
During these meetings, Zelensky expressed his hope to receive an invitation to NATO within the next few months.
Despite this, it is important to understand that there is no question of full membership yet.
According to Volodymyr Zelenskyi, North Korean soldiers are already participating in battles on the Kursk sector of the front. In addition, there is a risk of the arrival of several thousand more North Korean troops in the near future.
