White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said that it would be the alliance itself, not Russia, that would decide the issue of NATO membership.
“Only the countries-members of NATO decide who to become a member, not Russia. It is important to remember where “provocative actions are coming from” – this is not the United States, not Ukraine”, Psaki said at a briefing.
Earlier, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Kuleba told when Ukraine will be able to join NATO and why it is now impossible.
