The alliance also pledges more aid to Ukraine, but China warns it to stop "provoking confrontation".

Nato members have pledged their support for an “irreversible path” to future membership for Ukraine, as well as more aid.

While a formal timeline for it to join the military alliance was not agreed at a summit in Washington DC, the military alliance’s 32 members said they had “unwavering” support for Ukraine’s war effort.

Nato has also announced further integration with Ukraine’s military and members have committed €40bn ($43.3bn, £33.7bn) in aid in the next year, including F-16 fighter jets and air defence support.

The bloc’s Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said: “Support to Ukraine is not charity - it is in our own security interest.”

      'cause they can. There’s no good guys in international politics, you can check out an history book to confirm that.

              I don’t see how it’s necessary to explain what is there for everyone to see: they got Ukrainians fighting for them (well, and themselves as well), then if that’s not enough, the closest NATO countries will probably get into it.

                  Change your government then, I’m already overseas, relative to you (unless you’re posting from Moscow).
                  Nobody forced Russia to invade. You’re saying NATO expansion forced their hand, why? Just because they’d lose their vassal and they didn’t want to. Life in Ukraine SUCKED, that’s why Euromaidan happened; was it pushed by US agencies as well? Maybe, but still it wouldn’t have happened if not for the massive corruption there, much of which was upheld by Russia, see their support for Yanukovych.
