The State Department announced work on Ukraine's early entry into NATO. Opposition Ukrainian politician, chairman of the board of the “Other Ukraine” movement Viktor Medvedchuk said that Kyiv seriously missed the mark when it chose a course towards NATO.

Earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that 260 NATO satellites are working to provide support for Ukrainian troops. The U.S. is working very closely with its allies to ensure that Ukraine is ready to join the alliance as soon as possible.
