As soon as war ends, Ukraine should join NATO as soon as possible, - Wallace
NATO cannot accept Ukraine during the war - this will involve the entire Alliance in the conflict. But after the end of the war, Ukraine should join NATO as soon as possible.
This was stated by the Minister of Defense of Great Britain, Ben Wallace, Censor.NET reports with reference to CNN.
"I fully agree with the United States that we cannot accept a new country with a heated armed conflict. It will simply import war into the Alliance," he said.
Wallace said NATO members must "work together to ensure that Russia fails in its ... illegal invasion of Ukraine" before allowing Ukraine to join the alliance.
"However, when this conflict ends, we must be ready to accept Ukraine into NATO as soon as possible," he noted.
Wallace also noted that Ukraine has taken some necessary "steps" to get there, including strengthening the military and eliminating corruption.
