Counter-offensive to give Ukraine victory it needs to join NATO – Kuleba

The counter-office will give Ukraine the victory it needs for NATO membership, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told Reuters on Monday, claiming his country had enough weapons to launch the counter-office against Russia. 

He added joining the alliance would probably be possible for Kyiv after the completion of hostilities. 

Ukraine has for months feted a vast upcoming assault to retake the 18% of its territory still occupied by Russia, using tanks, armoured cars and artillery donated by its Western allies, Reuters said, adding Kuleba did not say whether the counter-offensive had started when asked.
