All NATO allies have AGREED Ukraine will become a member

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg today said all members have agreed that Ukraine will join the military alliance in a major boost for Volodymyr Zelensky.

The chief said that Ukraine must have 'the deterrence to prevent new attacks' from Russia once the war ends – and joining would give Kyiv protection.

Mr Stoltenberg said the NATO allies had agreed that Ukraine would eventually become a member of the alliance and that Mr Zelensky had been invited to attend the next summit in July.

I think that's good if that's what has really happened, but I have my doubts.  I think Stoltenberg probably got a little ahead of his skis on this one.   Just for starters, I doubt that both Hungary and Turkey specifically have agreed to that at this point.

That became a given when Putin invaded Ukraine in February, 2022.

Thank to Putin's invasion of Ukraine, NATO has two additional members, Finland and Sweden.

Turks and Hungarians are still holding out on Sweden.  Turkish elections are in May, and the opposition says that it will support Sweden's accession if they win.  I think they've actually got a small lead right now.  Hungary will follow if Turkey agrees.

Ukraine in NATO makes sense, but that's down the road.  It would require peace with agreed-upon borders, a couple more election cycles deemed free/fair, and a reduction in corruption.  But that's kinda/sorta been NATO's position all along.

As I suspected, Hungary is definitely not on board with this.

Hungary is right.

Ukraine joining NATO is not going to work out well...

Your place is in NATO, alliance chief tells Ukraine on first wartime visit
Jens Stoltenberg makes highly sensitive, surprise trip to Ukraine.

Ukraine’s place is in NATO, alliance chief Jens Stoltenberg declared Thursday in Kyiv during his first visit to the country since Russia launched its full-scale invasion.

The surprise trip, coming more than a year after the war began, is highly sensitive and arrives at a time when Ukrainian officials are pushing the Western military alliance to give Kyiv a clearer path to membership.

Speaking in Kyiv alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Stoltenberg said that the country belongs in the Euro-Atlantic family.

“Ukraine’s rightful place is in NATO,” the secretary-general said, “and over time, our support will help you make this possible.” ...
