Stoltenberg: The NATO Summit Will Discuss Ukraine's Future Membership in the Alliance

Ahead of the NATO summit in Washington, scheduled for July 9-11, the allies are discussing and resolving many issues concerning Ukraine, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reported.

Stoltenberg made this statement at a joint press conference with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken following their meeting in Washington. 

The NATO Secretary General outlined the Alliance's agreed plan regarding training and assistance for Ukraine in the security sector. He also added that he expects new announcements about providing increased military support to Ukraine.

"I am confident that we will also have a statement regarding Ukraine becoming a member of the Alliance... The exact wording of what we will agree upon is currently being discussed among NATO members, but I am confident that by the summit we will have a good agreement on the decision."

He believes that the stronger the support from the Alliance and the more reliable the long-term commitments to Ukraine, the sooner the war will end.
