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.”

    I really don’t care enough about Russia to defend their actions any further but if you look on a map you see Ukraine does not just encircle Russia but actually sticks inwards quite a bit.

    And Russia did start getting more imperialist the closer NATO came.

      Ah yes the closer NATO came, since before they had east Germany, Poland and other countries.

      Dude. Think about what you are saying or read up more. You are repeating russian propaganda and nothing else. This is a land grab invasion. NATO doesn’t have shit to do with it otherwise Russia wouldn’t grab all their troops on NATO borders and move them to Ukraine. They know NATO isn’t an offensive alliance and are using that, then telling people like you bullshit about NATO encroachment, novorossia or other idiotic ramblings.

          Dude, you aren’t some barely interested dude that “doesn’t care about Russia”. People have memories and can remember your posts you know. This isn’t new for you spreading pro-Russia bullshit, you do it all the time and get downvoted to hell for it. Stop hiding behind “oh I don’t really care, buuuuut”, you aren’t fooling me.

            I just inform myself on global politics. Russia is not the good guy in the conflict but neither is NATO. But people here really have no idea what they are talking about. Of course literal facts that don’t fit the superlib narrative are all pro Russia bullshit.

            Same people that can see the gray in the Genocide in Gaza are the people that believe a territorial war between two imperialist superpowers is black and white
