US Vice President JD Vance has said that Ukraine should not become a member of NATO. NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is a military alliance of allied countries. The remark touches one of the central questions of Russia's war against Ukraine: whether Ukraine could join the alliance in the future.

Vance also called for attacks on Russian energy facilities to stop. The source does not specify the circumstances in which he spoke, and it gives no further arguments or concrete proposals.

The statement was reported by the Ukrainian outlet Ukrainska Pravda. The source provides no information on how the leadership of Ukraine or of other NATO countries has responded.
