Ukraine is now closer to NATO than ever before. It is only a matter of time before the country joins the alliance, ATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said during an address on a telethon, Ednews informs via RBC Ukraine.
“President Putin started this war because he wanted to close the doors to NATO and take away Ukraine's right to choose its own path. But he achieved exactly the opposite. Ukraine is now closer to NATO than ever before. Ukraine will join NATO, it is not a question of ‘if’, but a question of ‘when’,” Stoltenberg said.
The Secretary General added that the alliance will continue to support Ukraine.
