NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has indicated that Ukraine could be invited to become a full member of NATO at a certain stage, emphasizing the strategic benefit of collective defense, which he deems 'good for us'. He underlined the importance of arming Ukraine to limit violence and keep regional conventional wars short and limited, thereby preventing larger conflicts in Europe. Former NATO head James Stavridis suggested that after the 2024 election, there could be a moment for potential negotiation between Russia and Ukraine, as both sides are exhausted by the protracted war, with dialogue possible until the end of 2024. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, during a joint news conference with Stoltenberg, made a strong statement supporting Ukraine's membership in NATO, reflecting America's consistent support despite some European countries' hesitance. Stoltenberg also highlighted the need for long-term support to Ukraine, including more weapons, ammunition, and spare parts. He stressed that 'security is not regional, security is global', implying that today's conflict in Ukraine could have implications for other regions, such as Taiwan.
"Security is not regional, security is global. Today it's Ukraine, tomorrow it can be Taiwan. So, it is in our interest to ensure that we provide the weapons and support they need," - Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General https://t.co/GfswZYOl7h
A very strong statement from Antony Blinken, US Secretary of State: Ukraine will become a member of NATO. America has always been supportive of accepting Ukraine into this bloc - unlike some European countries. This could be huge if Blinken means what he means.
"They need more weapons, and, in particular, they need more ammunition and spare parts and sustainment. And that's exactly why it is important that the United States, but also all other allies, commit to long-term support to Ukraine," says @jensstoltenberg https://t.co/UGJLzLbvHb
The United States will continue to work with our @NATO Allies to defend the values of freedom, independence, and sovereignty. https://t.co/uV0TnpA9St
It’s good to see NATO nations are investing in their defenses to prepare for a potential Russian attack. However, the U.S must continue to help our NATO allies help themselves. Most importantly, we must continue to support Ukraine’s defense against ongoing Russian aggression. https://t.co/zBiEvRZsOv

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called it a "good thing" for the Alliance and for the US to support Ukraine, and at a certain stage to invite it to become a full member of NATO.
Stoltenberg reminds Americans that collective defense is good for us. Limit violence by aiming to keep regional conventional wars short, limited, and enable defending nation to prevail. The best way to maximize odds of preventing a larger war in Europe is to arm Ukraine. https://t.co/r43Kv7gVTn
