The American president does not believe that Ukraine is now ready for NATO membership, but he has no doubt that Ukraine’s future is in NATO.
The US mission to NATO explained the words of President Joe Biden that he is not ready to support the “NATOization” of Ukraine. A commentary of the American mission on Wednesday, June 5, was published by Radio Liberty.
The US mission to the alliance noted that the future of Ukraine depends on NATO, which was agreed by all allies. The American president, according to them, spoke about the unwillingness of Ukraine to become a member of the Alliance today.
“The President made it clear that the future of Ukraine lies in NATO, which the United States confirmed at the Vilnius summit with all other allies… The President said that he does not believe that Ukraine is now ready for membership of NATO, which he has repeatedly said earlier,” the US diplomatic mission said.
They also remembered Biden’s words after the Vilnius summit. He then emphasized that Ukraine’s membership was more a matter of time than a possibility in general.
“The future of Ukraine is in NATO As the president said earlier, “I believe that Ukraine will get there” and “the point is not whether it should join or not. It is about when they can join. And they will join NATO.”… At the NATO summit in Vilnius last year, the alliance’s leaders took steps to recognize the progress made by Ukraine, while at the same time emphasizing the need for on further democratic reforms to meet NATO standards. This work continues,” explained the diplomatic mission.
Let’s remember that the day before, in an interview with TIME magazine, Biden spoke about how he sees peace in Ukraine. According to him, this is “a guarantee that Russia will never occupy Ukraine.” But this, according to the American leader, does not mean the entry of Ukraine into NATO.
We remind you that on July 9-11, Washington will host an anniversary NATO summit dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Alliance. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the summit would be devoted to Ukraine’s upcoming accession. Washington plans to discuss the development of a “road map” for this.
