Now Ukraine is not ready to join the North Atlantic Alliance. US President Joe Biden said this in an interview with CNN. The problem is the war with Russia, but according to him, Ukraine must also work on democratization. According to Biden, it is now important to prepare a “reasonable path” so that Ukraine can become a member of the alliance in the future. NATO countries, including the US, will continue to provide Kiev with the military aid and weapons that Ukraine needs for its defense, Biden added.

“I don’t think it is ready for NATO membership,” the US president responded to a question posed by moderator Fareed Zakaria in the interview.

Leaving for Belarus was one of the options mentioned by Russian President Vladimir Putin in his speech after the unsuccessful armed rebellion of the Wagnerites against the command of the Russian army. In this way, the Wagners were to avoid prosecution and punishment for their actions. Among the other options that Putin talked about was going into civilian life or signing a contract with the Russian army.
