Singh noted that the USA is "certainly encouraged" by how Sweden moves towards the Alliance.
"When it comes to Ukraine, they will have their own path to NATO ascension," she added.
The representative of the Pentagon emphasised that now the US is focused on ensuring that Ukraine has everything it needs on the battlefield.
"Our efforts right now are focused on the security packages that we're providing, that you see us roll out every week or so, and what we can get to what we can get to them on the battlefield that they need right away," she noted.
