NATO Accepts Ukraine as a Full-Fledged Member Even if a War Is Still Going On

NATO could invite Ukraine to join NATO even if a war is still going on. Russia has maintained breakaway states of sorts in Georgia and Moldova, which have made it so much harder for them to ever join NATO on paper. If we declare publicly that Ukraine cannot join NATO as long as the wars go on, we are de facto providing Putin with an argument to continue the conflict," he says.
