Ukraine joining NATO "will never happen."

NATO hasn't "reached the point where it is prepared to offer membership or an invitation to Ukraine."

“As long as I am head of the Slovak government, I will direct the MPs that are under my control... never to agree to Ukraine's joining NATO.”

"We cannot admit Ukraine into NATO immediately."

Ukraine is "fully prepared and able to be a member of NATO."

We will take "concrete steps to bring Ukraine closer to NATO."

"Ukraine's path and bridge towards NATO membership is now irreversible."

"Ukraine is closer to NATO than ever before, and will continue on this path until [it] become[s] a member of our alliance."

"Ukraine will join NATO. It is not a question of if, but of when."

The reshuffle raises concerns about presidential overreach in a parliamentary-presidential republic, where government appointments should originate from parliament rather than the president's office. The majority will simply rubber-stamp these decisions, treating state institutions like "stamp machines" rather than maintaining proper balance of powers.

Svyrydenko brings proven economic leadership Ukraine urgently needs. Her success brokering the U.S. minerals deal and stewarding the economy through war's darkest period demonstrates exceptional diplomatic and economic skills. A focus on cutting bureaucracy, protecting businesses, and channeling resources toward defense is exactly what Ukraine needs.

Umerov's overdue dismissal exposes Ukraine's undemocratic governance crisis. An unelected government reshuffles loyalists while ignoring parliamentary oversight. Umerov's reward for catastrophic defense failures? A cushy ambassadorship where his family already live. Ukraine's democracy dies when failed ministers face no consequences.
