9 July 2023 at 18:02 Biden to CNN: The war must be over before NATO can consider membership for Ukraine The American president said today during an interview with CNN that Ukraine is not ready for NATO membership yet. He says that the war in Ukraine must end before the alliance can consider membership for the country. – I don’t think there is agreement in NATO about whether we should include Ukraine in the NATO family now, at this time, in the middle of a war, Biden tells the channel. – For example, if you do that, then you know – and I mean what I say, that we are determined to commit to using every inch of the territory that is NATO territory. And continues: – It is an obligation we have all entered into regardless of what happens. If the war continues, we are all at war. In that case, we are at war with Russia, says the American president. The interview is ahead of the NATO summit in Lithuania, where membership for Ukraine will probably be a topic. The president also said that although discussions about membership are premature, Nato will continue to provide arms and support to Ukraine.
