Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed that regions of Ukraine not occupied by Russia should join NATO as a move toward thwarting further Russian aggression.
NATO's Article 5 calls for defense against attacks on member states, but how each nation chooses to assist is at its discretion, adding complexity.
Despite ongoing conflict, officials believe that Ukraine’s long battle against Russia might warrant membership in NATO as a form of recognition and security.
Some observers suggest that NATO could consider partial protection for Ukraine, aligning with provisions already laid out in the NATO Treaty's Supplemental Protocol.
