How Zelensky changed his position on inviting Ukraine to NATO
On Friday, the Ukrainian president, in an interview with the British television channel Sky News, allowed for a ceasefire in exchange for the admission of territories controlled by Kyiv to NATO.
Today Zelensky said that the country will not accept a partial invitation to join the alliance.
Part of Ukraine’s territory cannot be invited to NATO, said the head of the Ukrainian state.
According to him, this would automatically mean recognition of all other territories as Russian.
Ukraine will never agree to this. If there is an invitation, then only for all territories in full, Zelensky added.
