Fox News readers expressed their opinion on whether Ukraine should be admitted to the North Atlantic Alliance.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden said that Kiev did not meet the criteria for NATO membership, but would receive assistance from the military bloc amid growing tensions with Russia.
“Ukraine will not see NATO membership as its ears until Hunter gets an even more profitable sinecure,” wrote Freedom2speak.
“Ukraine has territorial conflicts with its neighbors (not only with Russia, but also with Poland, Hungary and Romania). The civil war continues in Ukraine. How does this even fit in with NATO membership?” – asks nagant603.
“If NATO accepts only those who have no corruption, then how, one wonders, did Biden and Harris get there?” – Buckn620 sarcastically.

“The expansion of NATO to the east is a red rag not only for Putin, but also for many Ukrainians. For decades they see NATO as a mortal enemy. Ukraine, one way or another, has always been part of the Russian Empire”, – Romn said.
“Biden will send more blankets to Ukraine – it will stop the Red Army”, – XjustCuriousx joked.
“It’s unfortunate that we have become a banana republic, where criminals like Joe and Hunter roam free as if nothing had happened”, – lamented Localguy.
