Background:

• Ukraine has been seeking to join NATO since 2008, when the alliance's Bucharest Summit declared that Ukraine and Georgia would one day become members. However, Russia has strongly opposed Ukraine's membership, citing concerns about its own security and the potential for NATO to expand its presence in Eastern Europe.
• In 2014, Ukraine's pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted in a popular uprising, leading to Russia's annexation of Crimea and ongoing support for separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine.
• Since then, Ukraine has been working to strengthen its military and security ties with NATO, participating in joint exercises and training programs, and receiving military aid from the alliance.
