Olha Stefanishyna, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine, states that all 30 NATO member countries agree that Ukraine needs to join the Alliance.

As the correspondent of "European Pravda" reports, she stated this at the Kyiv Security Forum.

"We have progressed on the issue of rapprochement with NATO. At the last ministerial NATO meeting in Bucharest, all 30 member states agreed on the need to grant Ukraine membership in the Alliance... NATO members confirmed that the door to Ukraine is open. It is important that by this decision they did not repeat themselves based on the conclusion of the Bucharest Summit in 2008. This is a new powerful signal. It shows: no one is afraid of Russia's pressure," said Olha Stefanishyna.

The Deputy Prime Minister has also said that NATO is going to use political tools to put pressure on Hungary, which blocks Ukraine's participation in NATO political meetings due to the issue of national minorities.

As reported, following the meeting, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has pledged the alliance's support for Ukraine for as long as it takes and has reiterated that the door to membership in the world's largest security organisation remains open to all, including Kyiv, but after the war.
