US weighs in on Ukraine’s NATO membership
Now is not the time, says national security adviser Jake Sullivan
White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan talks to reporters
on September 30, 2022
The US is committed to the “open door” policy when it comes to NATO, but
now is the wrong time to consider Ukraine’s membership application,
President Joe Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on
Friday.
**/“Right now, our view is that the best way for us to support Ukraine
is through practical, on the ground support in Ukraine, and that the
process in Brussels should be taken up at a different time,”/ Sullivan
told reporters at the White House press briefing.
**Earlier in the day, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky staged a
signing of a membership application to the bloc, claiming Kiev is a /“de
facto”/ ally already and demanding an /“accelerated”/ accession procedure.
**Sullivan echoed the comments made earlier by NATO Secretary General
Jens Stoltenberg that membership requires the consensus of all 30
members of the US-led bloc. Stoltenberg also pledged /“unwavering”/ and
/“resolute”/ support for Ukraine, but insisted that does not make NATO a
party to the conflict with Russia.
