Nato commits to Ukraine membership

Nato Secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg reaffirmed the military alliance's commitment to Ukraine yesterday, saying the war-torn nation will one day become a member of the world's largest security organisation.

His remarks came as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his Nato counterparts gathered in Romania to drum up urgently needed support for Ukraine aimed at ensuring that Moscow fails to defeat the country as it bombards its energy infrastructure.

"Nato's door is open," Mr Stoltenberg said.
