The allies called the condition for Ukraine's membership in NATO

The United States noted that the doors to Ukraine in NATO are open, but at the same time stressed that the decision to join the Alliance of Ukraine should be made by all member countries of the bloc. This was stated by US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin during a briefing.

We strive to support NATO's "open door" policy, but the decision to expand the Alliance must be made by all countries in the bloc, Austin said.

He also noted that the current situation is such that the main effort of partner countries should be focused on military support for Ukrainians.

We are doing our best to ensure that Ukraine has what it needs to succeed. And we see really good results achieved by the Ukrainian forces,” summed up the head of the Pentagon.

Also, nine presidents of European countries announced the need to increase military support for Ukraine.

We strongly support the decision of the NATO summit in Bucharest in 2008 regarding Ukraine's future membership. We support Ukraine in its defense against Russian invasion, we demand an immediate withdrawal from Russia from all occupied territories, and we call on all allies to significantly increase their military assistance to Ukraine, the statement says .

They stressed that they do not and will never recognize Russia's attempts to annex the territory of Ukraine.

Recall that on September 30, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced that he was applying for NATO membership and noted that the country expects to join in an expedited manner.
