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.”

    They should feel that they lost the cold war and their kleptocracy isn’t conductive to expanding their already reduced sphere of influence, so they better make peace with the fact.

      Since they dont feel this and feel directly threatened, why should NATO/America keep pushing it till war?

        'cause they can. There’s no good guys in international politics, you can check out an history book to confirm that.

          So are you going to be the one sent overseas to die in a country that most people dont care anything about?

              You are claiming that they can do what they want, but that is backed by boots on the ground. Is that going to be you, or are you going to force my children to fight your wars?

                I don’t see how it’s necessary to explain what is there for everyone to see: they got Ukrainians fighting for them (well, and themselves as well), then if that’s not enough, the closest NATO countries will probably get into it.

                  And when the war goes global or nuclear and the US sends troops overseas for you dumb war, are you going or are you going to try to force my kids to die for you instead?

                    Change your government then, I’m already overseas, relative to you (unless you’re posting from Moscow).
                    Nobody forced Russia to invade. You’re saying NATO expansion forced their hand, why? Just because they’d lose their vassal and they didn’t want to. Life in Ukraine SUCKED, that’s why Euromaidan happened; was it pushed by US agencies as well? Maybe, but still it wouldn’t have happened if not for the massive corruption there, much of which was upheld by Russia, see their support for Yanukovych.
