Stotenberg hopes Ukraine joins NATO in 10 years

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg expressed hope that Ukraine will join the North Atlantic Alliance in the next ten years.

Rubryka reports this, referring to DW.

In particular, Stoltenberg emphasized the need to increase military aid to Kyiv on the eve of the NATO summit in Washington, which will be held on July 9-11.

"The stronger this support is, the sooner the war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine can end," he emphasized.

According to the Secretary General of NATO, the president of the Russian Federation, Putin implements a strategy of protracting war in Ukraine, hoping to weaken the determination of the West.

"Putin believes that he can outlast us. We must convince him that he cannot outlast us, and then this will create the conditions for the end of the war," NATO Secretary General said.
