The Alliance will require "additional steps" from Kyiv before membership talks can move forward, a senior U.S. State Department official says.
The position will be set out in writing in a NATO communiqué to be signed at the Alliance's annual summit, which will take place from July 9 to 11.
"As they continue to implement these reforms, we want to commend them, we want to talk about additional steps that need to be taken, especially in the area of anti-corruption. That is a priority for many of us at the table," the official told The Telegraph.
