Ukraine is on an “irreversible” path to NATO membership, as confirmed by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. However, this membership will only be granted once the ongoing conflict with Russia comes to an end. A joint communique from all 32 NATO allies is expected to be released, solidifying this commitment to Ukraine's NATO accession.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine has been advocating for a clear guarantee from NATO regarding the country's future membership in the military alliance. While the U.S. and some other nations support Ukraine's NATO aspirations, they are cautious about granting membership during the conflict with Russia to prevent escalation.
