UKRAINE APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP OF NATO

Following the deployment of thousands of Russian troops on the eastern borders of Ukraine in early April 2021, the Ukraine government has requested NATO to allow it to join the organisation.   Russia has indicated that this is an escalation of military threats in the region.

Joining NATO would provide Ukraine with the military protection of western powers against any Russian invasion of Ukraine.   However, NATO does not normally allow countries to join when they are in the throes of an international conflict.
