“Ukraine is a candidate for NATO membership. We are now focused on helping it fight the brutal Russian invasion, helping it with practical support, lethal and non-lethal assistance from NATO allies, and helping Ukraine continue to modernize its armed forces.” “NATO has been working on it for many years, but it is intensifying now, including the transition from Soviet-era equipment to modern NATO equipment. This is our main focus and, I think, the most urgent need in our relations with Ukraine now,” Stoltenberg said.
