- Ukraine will become a NATO member in the ‘long term’, the head of the western military alliance said today, amid Vladimir Putin‘s on-going invasion of the country.
- But NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stressed that the immediate issue at hand is Ukraine remaining an independent nation from Russia.
- ‘NATO allies have agreed that Ukraine will become a member of our alliance, but at the same time that is a long-term perspective,’ Stoltenberg told reporters during a visit to Finland’s capital Helsinki.
