According to Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, Ukraine expects NATO members to decide on the country's membership application at the next summit in Washington in July. "Our ,army operates according to NATO standards, we have implemented all the necessary reforms and now we are one step ahead of the invitation," Shmigal said in an interview with "CBC News".
Asked if Ukraine would welcome the arrival of additional troops from NATO countries (as French President Emmanuel Macron suggested in a recent interview with The Economist), Schmigal said the reinforcements would certainly help repel the Russians. But for now, he said, Ukraine is asking its partners for military equipment.
