Bush: Strong Support for Ukraine in NATO

As expected, George Bush will back Ukraine and Georgia's bid to join the North American Treaty Organisation.

US President George W Bush is set to offer backing to Ukraine's membership of Nato as he starts a visit to the former Soviet republic.

The eastward expansion of the military alliance has divided Nato members due to fierce opposition from Moscow.

Mr Bush will go on to attend his final Nato summit in Bucharest, Romania, at which troop commitments to Afghanistan are likely to be discussed.

He will then hold a last summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
