Ukraine on Path to NATO Membership, Declares Blinken

Debarylife – The United States remains committed to Ukraine’s ultimate membership in NATO, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, but he refrained from making hard promises before the alliance’s yearly summit in July in Washington.

“Ukraine is going to join NATO.” “We are here at the summit to assist in creating a bridge to that membership,” Blinken said to reporters in Brussels on Thursday.
