Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday voiced hope for the “best possible result" from an upcoming NATO summit where Kyiv is hoping for a clear signal that it could one day join the alliance.
According to Biden, there is currently no consensus within NATO regarding Ukraine’s potential inclusion, and he emphasised the importance of first achieving a peace agreement with Russia before considering Ukraine’s NATO membership.
“If the war is going on, then we’re all in war,” Biden said, referring to the alliance’s commitment to mutual defense. “We’re at war with Russia, if that were the case.” He added that there would be “other qualifications that need to be met, including democratization,” for Ukraine to be considered for membership.
