 And outside Africa all NATO allies have agreed that Ukraine will eventually become a member of the Alliance, but the main focus now is to ensure the country prevails against Russia. NATO's Secretary General James Choltenberg disclosed this on the sidelines of the ongoing NATO summit in Ethania. Let's go a long way. Since we made that decision in 2008 that the next step will be a membership action plan. Ukraine is much closer to NATO, so I think the time has come to reflect that in also the NATO decisions. All put together, including that we make clear that Ukraine will become a member, we remove the membership action plan, we make their forces interoperable, NATO forces, we establish a NATO-Ukraine Council, all that together will send a very strong and positive message from NATO to Ukraine. I'm confident that we will make strong and united decisions on Ukraine, both to sustain and step up our support. I'm also confident that on the membership issue, allies will reaffirm that Ukraine will become a member. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
