U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that the U.S. supports an "open-door policy" on joining the military alliance but added that Ukraine's NATO membership "should be taken up at a different time."
“Right now, our view is that the best way for us to support Ukraine is through practical, on-the-ground support in Ukraine and that the process in Brussels should be taken up at a different time,” Sullivan said.
On Sept. 30, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine has applied for fast-track NATO accession.
