NATO members agree that Ukraine will join one day, the military alliance's chief said.
Jens Stoltenberg said multiple times this week Ukraine's future is in the "Euro-Atlantic family."
Ukraine has long sought NATO membership, something Vladimir Putin deeply opposes.

The NATO chief said Friday that members agree that Ukraine will eventually join the decades-old military alliance, which would deliver another blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin's hopes of preventing alliance expansion.
