NATO names reasons why Ukraine is not accepted into the alliance

Deputy Secretary General of NATO Mircea Joan explained why Ukraine will not become a member of the alliance in the near future

He also noted that Ukraine’s accession to the alliance was not on NATO’s agenda.

“Ukraine needs a lot of reforms inside the country. No one is saying that Ukraine will join NATO in the near future”, –  he said.

In addition, all NATO member states must come to a unanimous decision on Ukraine’s accession.

A NATO spokesman said they “are not providing direct military support to Ukraine”, but the alliance will send a team of cybersecurity specialists to Ukraine to combat disinformation
