Ukraines President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is convinced that US President Donald Trump can influence the issue of Ukraines accession to NATO.
Source European Pravda citing Zelenskyys statement during a meeting with representatives of the Davos International Media Council Quote It all depends on the United States.
If Trump is ready to see Ukraine in NATO, we will be in NATO, everyone will support Ukraines accession ed..
If President Trump is not ready to see us in NATO, we will not be in NATO.
Details Zelenskyy said some countries had initially pursued a nontransparent policy towards Ukraine and had not supported its accession to NATO since the beginning.
Quote These were just false pretences that Ukraine would be in NATO, because decades passed and Ukraine did not become a NATO member.
It was dishonest.
Details The Ukrainian president stressed that the United States and Germany had a weak position on Ukraines accession to NATO and were engaged in dialogue with Russia on this issue.
However, he thinks they have lost this dialogue because they always appealed to the fact that they once had agreements with Russia.
Quote I would like to equalise the level of respect for Ukraine by others.
And we are fighting for security guarantees, we want to be in NATO, most NATO countries support us.
Zelenskyy stressed that there are four countries that do not support Ukraine in NATO The United States, Germany, Slovakia and Hungary.
Background In the interview, Zelenskyy also stated that the prospect of ending the war or achieving a ceasefire in Ukraine depends on Europes readiness to take a tougher stance on Russia, adding that without the Ukrainian army, Europe has no chance against Russia.
Ukraines Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, in an interview with European Pravda, emphasised that Ukraine will not abandon its NATO membership aspirations and will not accept alternatives to full membership. Support UP or become our patron
