The war-torn country's path to membership of the alliance is 'irreversible', they pledged.
leaders have jointly affirmed that "Ukraine's future is in NATO" and its path is "irreversible", as they pledged long-term support for Kyiv.Instead, they said they would "be in a position to extend an invitation to Ukraine to join the Alliance when Allies agree, and conditions are met".US President Joe Biden speaks during the opening session of the NATO Summit in Washington.
The declaration outlined the alliance's ongoing support for Kyiv, including previous announcements on new air defence systems and the establishment of the "NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine to coordinate the provision of military equipment and training for Ukraine by Allies and partners".
"That's why we've provided significant support to Ukraine up until this moment of time and we'll continue to provide support to Ukraine." Moving the training and equipment coordination under the auspices of NATO has been seen by many as a way to ensure ongoing support for Kyiv in the case of the reelection of former US president Donald Trump.Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer, left, speaks with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the NATO summit.
