NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Tuesday ahead of a meeting with US President Joe Biden that Ukraine's offensive to liberate swaths of territory occupied by Russia could force the Kremlin to negotiate.
Stoltenberg, who was meeting with Biden in the White House later Tuesday, told CNN that it was "still early days" for the offensive, which he characterized as "difficult."
Kyiv's Western-backed army is attempting to assault long-prepared Russian defensive lines stretched across the east and south of war-torn Ukraine.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Tuesday it was impossible to give a precise date for when Ukraine will become a NATO member, with Kiev's membership not to be discussed until it wins in the conflict with Russia.
"Unless Ukraine prevails, then there's no membership to be discussed at all," Stoltenberg told US broadcaster PBS, adding that the alliance was ready to support Kiev for as long as necessary.
