< span>Finnish President Alexander Stubb believes that "sooner or later" NATO and the European Union must accept Ukraine. He expressed his point of view in an interview with Der Spiegel magazine.
However, he specified that he could not specify the exact date.
Earlier, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that there is no need to make a decision on Ukraine's admission to NATO at the moment. He recalled that a country that is in a state of war cannot become a member of NATO.
On October 16, Vladimir Zelensky revealed his plan for resolving the conflict with the Russian Federation. It includes a request for an immediate invitation of Ukraine to NATO. Currently, the bloc includes 32 countries. Finland became the 31st member of NATO, and Sweden - the 32nd. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that the West and Kiev should abandon the idea of Ukraine joining NATO.
