  1. I think there needs to be some clear sign that they can join, and not just NATO, but also the EU, a clear sign that they can join once the war is over and they do the steps needed to join, will go along way in giving them hope and motivate them to push Russia out. Keeping them in limbo, not knowing where they stand can do harm, but in truth, it's too early to say, but western countries will need to give Ukraine clear signs at some point that it can join, otherwise, they will eventually look elseware, something that also the EU needs to do with countries that want to join the union, clear signs and road maps needs to be in place that countries that want to join, can once they do the steps needed to join, otherwise, some could look at alternative options like China if the west keeps them waiting. But in any event, the war needs to end in Ukraine before they can join the EU and NATO, but both organisations really do need a clear path that shows they can join before they get fed up and look at alternative options, a bit like how Turkey did on the EU, in other words, don't push them too far out where it feels almost impossible to join, give them a clear road map that they need to abide by before they can join, basically, give them hope that if they do the reforms and changes needed, they can join. Unfortunately, the way it is now, they don't know whether they can join or not, regardless of what changes they do after the war and it's easy to understand why some countries are getting fed up with waiting.
