MOSCOW (Sputnik) - It is still too early to say when Ukraine will become a NATO member, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Wednesday.
"To invite a new ally we need consensus and all allies agree that Ukraine will become a member, but it is too early to say exactly when that will happen," Stoltenberg said ahead of the NATO Summit in Washington.
In April, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg during a visit to Kiev said Ukraine has a rightful place in NATO and that the alliance is working on placing it on an irreversible path toward membership in NATO when the time may be right.
