Zelenskyy on promise of NATO membership: not such a high price for war

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes that the NATO countries at the summit in Vilnius should give Ukraine a clear signal about the prospect of becoming a member of the Alliance, because Ukrainians are paying for it in blood in the war Russia has unleashed.

Details: The president noted that a clear signal about the prospect of Ukraine becoming a member of NATO at the summit in Vilnius would be a very important motivational factor for the Ukrainian people, as was the case with the granting of candidate status for EU membership in June 2022.

Quote: "We understand that we will be in NATO in a few years or after the war, depending on what the members of the Alliance decide. But it is necessary to give a signal to motivate Ukraine to defend Europe. This is not such a high price for such a war and such suffering."
