'Path is open' for Ukraine to join NATO -British defence minister

Britain supports adding Ukraine to NATO and "that path is open" to them, although political realities may slow the process, Defence Minister Ben Wallace said on Friday on the sidelines of the Shangri-La Dialogue security meetings in Singapore. He noted that it is not possible to add members in the middle of a war, and that the way forward was to continue aiding and arming Ukraine for both short- and long-term security. "The best thing we can do to help Ukraine is now to help them defeat Russia," Wallace said in an interview.
