Official joint statement declaring support for Ukraine membership in NATO.


It just said we support Ukraine’s right to choose their own way. It doesn’t say we want them in NATO. We are telling Russia that Ukraine isn’t your lap dog and that they have the same rights that other sovereign nations have.

Here is the exact paragraph.

quote:

Supporting Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic Aspirations: As the United States and Allies reaffirmed in the June 2021 NATO Summit Communique, the United States supports Ukraine’s right to decide its own future foreign policy course free from outside interference, including with respect to Ukraine’s aspirations to join NATO. We also remain committed to assisting Ukraine with ongoing reforms.

This is correct and worded so everyone can read it how they want. Reminds me of the One China Principle, the 1992 Consensus can be interpreted in different ways and each side sees it the way they want to which helps them sleep at night.
