US Won't Commit to NATO Membership for Ukraine
The United States reaffirmed its commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity Tuesday but stopped short of publicly backing Kyiv's call for a quicker path to membership in NATO.
"We've long been discussing that aspiration with Ukraine," White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters when asked about Ukraine's latest push to join the Western military alliance.
"We are strong supporters of them," she added. "But that is a decision for NATO to make."
