TL;DR Summary

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba warns that it would be "suicidal" for Europe not to accept Ukraine into NATO after the war with Russia is over, as it would leave the option of war open. Kuleba pushes back against Germany and others advocating against a commitment, citing the 2008 NATO summit in Bucharest when Ukraine's membership was rejected, leading to Russian aggression in Georgia and the illegal annexation of Crimea. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy seeks NATO membership for Ukraine, and Kuleba emphasizes the importance of shutting the door on Russian aggression by accepting Ukraine into NATO.
