US President Joe Biden considers Ukraine’s rapid accession to NATO unrealistic. “I don’t think she’s ready for NATO membership,” Biden told US broadcaster CNN. He believes that there is still no agreement among the NATO member states as to whether or not Ukraine should be admitted to the alliance “now, in the middle of the war”. If you do that, you are also obliged to defend every inch of NATO territory. If the war then continued, all NATO partners would be at war.
