I am confident that we will have a formulation regarding the membership of the Ukrainian alliance. Such a statement the NATO Secretary General made at the joint press-conference with the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken.

“Then on, support for Ukraine. So we are discussing and we are addressing many deliverables on Ukraine before the upcoming NATO Summit. We have already agreed the plan for NATO training and security assistance for Ukraine. We have seen new announcements, and I expect also more announcement of more military support to Ukraine.

I’m certain that we also have language expressing that Ukraine will become a member of the Alliance. And then you are right that I have also put forward proposals on a more long-term commitment, because I strongly believe that the stronger our support is, the more credible our long term commitment to Ukraine is, the sooner this war can end. The exact language, exact what we will agree is what Allies are now discussed among Allies but I’m confident to have a good solution agreement by the summit”, - said Jens Stoltenberg.
