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.”

    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.

        Ukraine wasn’t entering NATO, it was seeking close ties to the EU.

        And anyway it’s a sovereign country, it can do whatever the hell it wants, they’re not slaves to Russia.

            Proves nothing. Russia itself at one point pretended to want to join NATO, it’s all politicking. And it’s still pointless, a sovereign country is free to do what it wants, if it isn’t, then it’s not free and it has all the reason to fight for its freedom.
            The US is practically never the good guy, but Russia is even worse, in this instance they’re absolutely indefensible.
