According to the Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine Olha Stefanishyna, after six months of Russia full-scale war against Ukraine, NATO's potential decision on the membership action plan for Ukraine no longer has the same importance as before.

In addition, its military is now gaining unique combat experience that the military of NATO allies don't have.
