Today, July 10, 2024, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the members of the Alliance agree that Ukraine will become a member of NATO. However, he emphasized that the specific time of entry is still subject to further discussion and consideration.
NATO members agree that Ukraine will become a member of the Alliance, but the exact time is still uncertain, as NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg emphasized.
All members of the Alliance agree that Ukraine will become a member, but it is still too early to say when exactly this will happen. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg emphasized this.
“… to have a new Ally, to invite a new Ally, we need a consensus. And all the members of the Alliance agree that Ukraine will become a member, but it is still too early to say when exactly this will happen. I can say that together with Ukraine, we are getting closer and closer to NATO membership, and we are doing it with concrete actions. Because Ukraine's membership, of course, partly depends on the language, the wording that we will agree on later today, and the NATO declaration on Ukraine's membership, but it also largely depends on the concrete actions that we take to bring Ukraine closer to membership," he said. Stoltenberg.
According to him, the fact that we will now have a 700-person NATO command based in Germany ... as well as in centers in the eastern part of the Alliance to facilitate training and help Ukraine in the field of security.
"This will give us a stronger NATO structure for what we do, and will also help bring Ukraine closer to our membership. The long-term financial commitment, everything we do in terms of interoperability... when NATO members supply, for example, F16s to Ukraine, we also provide training doctrines, and these are all examples of how we bring Ukraine closer to NATO... so that they become members, when the time comes," he summarized.
