![]() Ukraine understands that it will not be able to become a member of NATO as long as hostilities are taking place on its territory. This is what the Ukrainian president said Volodymyr Zelensky, at a press conference at the NATO summit in Vilnius. “We realize that some are really afraid to talk about our membership now, because nobody wants a world war. It is understandable and logical,” said the Ukrainian leader. The president added that in the various meetings he had today it was reaffirmed that Ukraine will become a member of the alliance "when the conditions are truly appropriate", ie when "our land will be safe". |
