Ukraine’s defence minister said his country is a “de facto member” of the Nato alliance, as Western allies will continue to supply the country with weapons.
Oleksii Reznikov said "things were changing" in allied countries, and that he didn’t believe his comments would trigger a Russian response.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has framed his invasion of Ukraine as a battle of western countries and Nato, despite the military alliance taking steps to not be seen as a party to the conflict.
Ukraine is not an official member of Nato, but the President Volodymyr Zelenksy has pushed membership. Under Article 5 of the Nato Treaty, an armed attack against any member should be considered an attack against all.
