The forthcoming NATO summit in Washington comes at a critical juncture for the alliance and in nation-state support to Ukraine. Getting the tone and substance right is vital for internal cohesion amongst member countries but also to send the right signals to Moscow and Beijing.
Last year’s summit held in Vilnius achieved marked progress on strengthening alliance defense and deterrence, but acrimony surrounding Kyiv’s to receive an invitation to join NATO — despite significant progress on other fronts — overshadowed the summit’s proceedings.
This year a successful NATO summit in Washington would demonstrate clear progress on four interrelated fronts — mission, money, membership and messaging — with consideration for Ukraine playing a key role in all four.

They need to demonstrate backbone, last year Putin bullied them into not bringing Ukraine in as a Member Nation. Now he is over in N Korea garnering support and signing treaties.

You have to change the entry rules to allow them in NATO, you can't get into NATO while you are involved in a border dispute. I seriously doubt that most of the border nations want to push what may be a line in the sand.

It's my best guess is that the recent swing in the EU elections will change NATO's stance on Ukraine. Both in France and Germany, the two hotbed issues are immigration and military mobilization, especially with the French where Marcon is stating that he was going to send French troops. Apparently the guy on the street doesn't care much about Ukraine when it effects him.

I have no problem with Ukraine joining NATO, either before the country was attacked, or after. I just hope it doesn't lead to a larger conflict.
