Ukraine is on track to join NATO, as confirmed by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken during a recent meeting in Brussels. Blinken expressed unwavering support for Ukraine's NATO membership, emphasizing the strong backing from member countries. The move towards NATO membership was further endorsed by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, who emphasized Ukraine's deserving candidacy for NATO membership.
The discussions between Blinken and Kuleba also touched upon Ukraine's ongoing conflict with Russia and strategies to enhance Ukraine's energy sector amidst Russian attacks. The potential inclusion of Ukraine in the 32-member alliance has been a contentious issue, with some attributing Russia's invasion of Ukraine to this prospect.
