On a visit to Armenia, James O'Brien, the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, reaffirmed Washington's support for Ukraine's NATO bid. Referring to a comment by U.S. President Joe Biden in an interview suggesting that support had waned, O'Brien said U.S. policy on the issue had not changed. He said Ukraine will be able to join the alliance "when conditions allow," and that leaders will use a NATO summit in July to help Kyiv move toward that goal.
