Ukraine expects that decisive steps will be taken during the upcoming NATO summit in Warsaw about the country's future membership in the alliance, Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has said.

“I would like to mention a decision taken by the Bucharest summit in 2008, where it was clearly stated that the NATO’s doors are open to Ukraine, and I hope that the summit, which will be held in Warsaw next year, will provide for concrete decisions about this,” he said at a joint briefing with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in Kyiv on Sept. 22.
