World News @lemmy.world Hubi @feddit.org 8mo ago Ukraine asks NATO for membership invite next week, letter shows www.reuters.com reuters.com
The article says that membership would apply only after the war.That rule is not an official rule and does not exist in NATO's treaty. It is a guideline set by the Obama administration to appease Putin.NATO membership is exactly the thing Ukraine needs right now, after Russia proved that military aid to Ukraine did not prevent them from invading.
Accession to NATO usually requires border disputes to be resolved. Last I knew Canada, the US and Turkey were also standing in the way.
Get them in! The nato membership could cover their currently held land.
