August 28, 2023Ukraine won’t be able to become a member of NATO while the war is ongoing.
This was stated by the European Commissioner for the Internal Market, Thierry Breton, in an interview on the French television channel LCI.
“As long as the conflict continues on European territory, Ukraine cannot become a member of NATO. Because otherwise, under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, it would mean involving all alliance countries in the conflict,” Breton said.
Regarding Ukraine’s accession to the European Union, it depends on Ukraine meeting the necessary requirements, including “the rule of law, respect for human rights, and the development of the internal market.”
“The initiation of the accession process does not mean automatic entry. Obviously, the candidate country must fulfill all conditions. Some fulfill the conditions, while others do not,” Breton said.
