NATO Chief Affirms Ukraine's Future in the Alliance Despite Delayed Membership.

All NATO member countries have agreed that Ukraine will eventually join the alliance, according to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. However, immediate membership for Ukraine would entail an immediate conflict with a nuclear-armed Moscow, which the US and other member states have made clear they will not contemplate. Stoltenberg's remarks indicate a willingness to edge forward Ukraine’s case for joining. Meanwhile, defence ministers and other representatives from 50 countries attended a meeting on Ramstein airbase in Germany to discuss further military aid for Kyiv.
