U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphatically stated “Ukraine will become a member of NATO.”

“Ukraine will become a member of NATO. Our purpose at the summit is to help build a bridge to that membership,” Blinken told reporters after a meeting with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba at the NATO Foreign Ministers Meeting.

“Of course, we believe that Ukraine deserves to be a member of NATO and that this should happen sooner rather than later,” Kuleba commented.

WATCH:

By pushing Ukraine to become a NATO member, the United States government is risking a direct conflict with Russia.

“Article 5 provides that if a NATO Ally is the victim of an armed attack, each and every other member of the Alliance will consider this act of violence as an armed attack against all members and will take the actions it deems necessary to assist the Ally attacked,” NATO states.

From NATO:

Article 5

“The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.

Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.”

Fox News reports:

Both men discussed Ukraine's war with Russia and ways to bolster Ukraine's energy sector amid attacks from Moscow.

Ukraine's potential membership in the 32-member alliance is seen as partly why Russia invaded the country. Sweden officially joined NATO on March 7.

In response to his remarks, Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, called Blinken's statement “irresponsible.”

“Ukraine should not join NATO, and to invite them during a war is to invite our nation into war,” he posted on X. “Do you want American ground troops in Ukraine? If not, we must push back against the idea that Ukraine should join NATO.”

The alliance is debating a plan to provide more military assistance to Ukraine as Russia asserts more control on the battlefield.
