"The United States and all NATO allies have said that Ukraine's future is in NATO. At this summit, we will unveil concrete ways in which NATO can help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression, build the future power needed to deter Russia, and implement the necessary reforms to make itself a stronger candidate for NATO membership," Jones said.
He added that the support that the US is going to provide at the NATO summit will really help accelerate Ukraine's path to NATO membership.
"The wording of the declaration is still under negotiation among the allies. The alliance has already stated that Ukraine will become a NATO member," Jones added.-
In addition, NATO members will discuss how to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression now, how to deter Russia in the future, and how to prepare for NATO membership.
