Ukraine and NATO
In April 2023, Kuleba wrote an article in Foreign Affairs, the house organ of the Council on Foreign Relations, on Why NATO Must Admit Ukraine: "But it falls to Ukraine and its Western partners to bring the conflict to an end, winning a just victory that guarantees peace and stability in Europe for generations to come. Doing so requires accepting the inevitable: that Ukraine will become a NATO member, and sooner rather than later."[4]
