All NATO members agree that Ukraine should eventually join NATO, but the current focus is to ensure that Ukraine wins the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Jens Stoltenberg made his first unannounced visit to Ukraine since the outbreak of the crisis on the 20th and visited the Memorial to the Fallen Soldiers of Ukraine.

On the 21st, he attended the meeting of the Ukrainian Defense Contact Group at Ramstein Air Base in Germany. He said that NATO countries are now paying special attention to "ensuring Ukraine's victory over Russia"
