Ukraine's rightful place is in NATO – UK Prime Minister

Rishi Sunak, Prime Minister of the UK, among other issues, has discussed Ukraine's membership in NATO at the meeting with US President Joe Biden on 10 July. Source: spokesperson of Sunak, as reported by European Pravda with reference to The Guardian Sunak's spokesperson stated that it would be inappropriate for Ukraine to ascend to NATO during the war with Russia, but Sunak thinks that Ukraine's "rightful place" is in the Alliance.

Quote: "We want to work with the US and our allies so that Ukraine joins the Alliance," the spokesperson added.

It should be remarked that Sunak already used the phrase "rightful place" when referring to Ukraine in NATO last month in Kishinev at the European Political Community (EPC) summit. The UK government reports in its official statement that Sunak and Biden have discussed the course of the counteroffensive in Ukraine and stressed the importance of its international partners making commitments concerning long-term defence, "?upplying the aid Ukraine needs to win this war and facilitate fair and long-lasting peace". The discussion of Ukraine's NATO membership is connected with the NATO summit, which will be held in Vilnius on 11-12 July.
