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."

A separate statement from the Security Service of Ukraine alleged the man was contacted by its Russian counterpart, the FSB, after posting on pro-Kremlin internet forums. It alleged he was exposed prior to traveling to a cache and retrieving a pistol and two loaded magazines, alongside bomb-making instructions, before being detained at a temporary residence in Kyiv.

Prosecutors said he was charged with unauthorized dissemination of information about the military, and that while pre-trial investigations continue a court ruled that he was to be remanded in custody without bail. The U.K. Home Office said it was aware of the allegations and that it was "in close contact with the Ukrainian authorities."

While this is embarrassing for Britain, this at least appears to be an isolated incident. No one else from the country has previously been indicted on charges of spying for Russia while in Ukraine.
