Blinken: to admit new countries to NATO, you need to follow the established procedure

“With regard to NATO and Ukraine, our position has been and remains clear and the same as it was.

We fully support NATO's "open door" policy and the involvement of countries that aspire to this in NATO, ”said Blinken, quoted by RIA Novosti.

There is a procedure for this, and countries will continue to follow this procedure, he said.

On September 30, it became known that Ukraine is applying to join the North Atlantic Alliance in an expedited manner.
