The head of the German Foreign Ministry voiced Berlin's position.

Ukraine should become a member of NATO in the future. Berlin's position was voiced at a briefing in Kyiv on November 4 by German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, the video was published on the Facebook page of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.

Baerbock was asked to clarify Germany's position on Ukraine's accession to NATO against the backdrop of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's statements that an invitation to the Alliance is impossible until the end of the war.

“What is Germany's position? It is clear — Ukraine's future is in both the EU and NATO. We stated this in the NATO declaration in Washington this summer,” the head of the German Foreign Ministry noted.

According to Baerbock, the illegitimate Vladimir Putin wants to make this free decision of Ukraine impossible.

Speaking about Sweden and Finland's accession to NATO, Baerbock emphasized that this was a free decision of the two countries, and they clearly stated their position.
