NATO members say Ukraine membership is on an ‘irreversible path’

NATO members have pledged their support for an “irreversible path” to future membership for Ukraine, along with increased aid.

While a formal timeline for Ukraine’s membership was not established at the Washington DC summit, the alliance’s 32 members expressed “unwavering” support for Ukraine’s war effort.

NATO also announced further integration with Ukraine’s military, and members committed €40 billion ($43.3 billion, £33.7 billion) in aid for the next year, including F-16 fighter jets and air defense support.

The bloc’s Secretary-General, Jens Stoltenberg, emphasized, “Support to Ukraine is not charity—it is in our own security interest.”
