U.S. not expecting Ukraine to receive invitation to join NATO at Washington summit
The United States does not expect any decisions to be made at the NATO summit in Washington in July in terms of inviting Ukraine to join the military alliance, but there will be a substantial show of support for Kyiv.
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Eurean and Eurasian Affairs James O'Brien td this to reporters on Friday, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
"We do not anticipate that there'll be an invitation for Ukraine to join NATO, but we think there will be a substantial show of support for Ukraine as it works to win its war," he said.

O'Brien clarified that this would include NATO support in building Ukraine's future force and efforts to help the country make reforms needed for Ukraine to join the Eurean Union and "run across the bridge to NATO as quickly as it's able."
The NATO summit will be held in Washington on July 9-10.
