Ukraine can join NATO only after the end of the war unleashed by the Russian Federation. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said “this is a process that is moving forward.”
When asked if there had been any discussion about the timetable for Ukraine’s entry into NATO, he replied: “Nothing has changed about approving the timetable. It still depends on the end of the war.”
“Ultimately, this is a process that will move forward after this conflict ends,” stated Speaker of the US State Department.
At the same time, he clarified that Washington has voiced its position on this issue, and it remains unchanged.
In addition, Miller recalled that Ukraine was discussed at the last NATO ministerial meeting in Brussels last week. The issue was also discussed during a meeting between US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba.
