President Biden, in an interview, asserted that Ukraine is not ready for NATO membership until the ongoing conflict with Russia concludes.
Although currently against Ukraine joining NATO, Biden affirmed that the United States and its allies will continue to supply Kyiv with necessary defense weapons against Russian invasion.
"I don't think there is unanimity in NATO about whether or not to bring Ukraine into the NATO family now, at this moment, in the middle of a war," Biden told CNN. "I think we have to lay out a rational path for Ukraine to be able to qualify to be able to get into NATO," Biden said.with ABC News from Kyiv on July 9, Zelenskiy said again he would"never" cede any territory to Russia, including the Crimean Peninsula, which the Kremlin illegally annexed in 2014.
Erdogan told Biden that Stockholm had taken steps in the right direction for Ankara to ratify its bid, referring to an anti-terrorism law, but that these steps weren't useful, as Kurdistan Workers Party supporters continued to hold demonstrations in Sweden.
