«All NATO members support the accession of Ukraine»: then what is the problem, replied Stoltenberg
The Secretary General emphasized that NATO’s door remains open, but it is not yet possible to say when Ukraine will be accepted into the Alliance.
All NATO member states agree that Ukraine will become a member of the Alliance. The only question is when it will happen.
This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in an interview with The Washington Post.
«All NATO allies agree that Ukraine will become a member of the Alliance. All allies agree that Ukraine has the right to choose its own path, which should not be decided by Moscow, but by Kyiv. All allies agree that NATO’s door remains open. Question it’s a matter of when, and I can’t give you a timeline of how that will happen,» Stoltenberg said.
According to the Secretary-General, the Alliance is helping Ukraine transition from Soviet-era equipment, doctrines, and standards to NATO doctrines and standards, making the Armed Forces compatible with NATO forces, and helping Ukraine in further reforming and modernizing defense and security institutions.
«The urgent task now is to ensure the victory of Ukraine as a sovereign, independent state, because if Ukraine does not win, there will be nothing to discuss,» Stoltenberg concluded.
