Vladimir Zelensky made a resonant statement.
According to the politician, Western countries are unfairly denying Ukraine an invitation to join the North Atlantic Alliance.
Zelensky stressed that an invitation to NATO and joining this military-political bloc are two different things.
At the same time, as the Ukrainian leader noted, “some leaders” in the West put an equal sign between the two above-mentioned concepts.
The politician described the situation as follows: some representatives of Western countries are asked about the invitation. And their answer, according to the representative of Kyiv, sounds as if it is already about Ukraine's membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
The representative of Kyiv saw injustice in such steps.
This is unfair. This is just a way to say "no," MIA " Russia Today " quotes Vladimir Zelensky's statement.
Ukraine and NATO
An immediate invitation to the Eastern European country to join the military-political bloc is one of the points of Zelensky’s recently presented “victory plan.”
Russian leader Vladimir Putin noted that Ukraine's potential membership in the North Atlantic Alliance poses a threat to Russia's security.
