<p data-reader-unique-id="14">President Joe Biden said in an interview broadcast on Sunday that he believes that Ukraine is not ready to become a member of NATO and that the country first needs to focus on ending the war with Russia.</p>
<p data-reader-unique-id="14">The remarks were made during a discussion with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria as Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky continues to push for becoming a member state.</p>
<p data-reader-unique-id="14">&#8220;I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s ready for membership in NATO,&#8221; Biden said, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin believed he could &#8220;break NATO&#8221; with his invasion of Ukraine.</p>
<p data-reader-unique-id="14">&#8220;I don&#8217;t think there is unanimity in NATO about whether or not to bring Ukraine into the NATO family, now, at this moment, in the middle of a war,&#8221; Biden continued, noting that joining NATO would force all other member countries to defend all of Ukraine while it&#8217;s already in a war.</p>
<p data-reader-unique-id="14">&#8220;If the war is going on, then we&#8217;re all in war,&#8221; Biden said. &#8220;You know, we&#8217;re at war with Russia, if that were the case. So I think we have to lay out a path, for the rational path for Russia, for, excuse me, for Ukraine to be able to qualify to get into NATO.&#8221;</p>
<p data-reader-unique-id="14">Biden said he told Zelensky that while the process was being worked out, which he said would take a long time, the U.S. would give Ukraine the weapons it needs to defend itself.</p>
<p data-reader-unique-id="14">&#8220;And so I think we can work it out,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And but I think it&#8217;s premature to say to call for a vote, you know, in now, because I, there&#8217;s other qualifications that need to be met and including democratization and some of those issues.&#8221;</p>

<p>Biden&#8217;s remarks come as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) tweeted last week that he was &#8220;working with Republicans and Democrats in the Senate to pass a resolution urging the admission of Ukraine into NATO.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;The best way to prevent future wars and promote peace is to create security guarantees that make aggressor nations think twice before starting wars,&#8221; Graham said. &#8220;Ukrainian NATO membership is vital to the future security of Europe and the world. I believe there is an overwhelming majority of Senators supporting this proposition.&#8221;</p>
