Kirby: The US does not see Ukraine in NATO until the fighting ends. White House representative noted that Ukraine needs to focus on reforms in the defense sector in preparation for joining NATO.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had previously also failed to clarify the date of Ukraine's accession to NATO. According to Vladimir Zelensky, countries opposing Ukraine’s entry into NATO “humiliate and betray” it. The White House did not respond to a request for comment from Interia.
