Such caution is similar to “the steps of a sapper in a mine,” and not the policy of world leaders, the president believes.
Currently, the United States does not support inviting Ukraine to join NATO. This is done so as not to irritate Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. President Vladimir Zelensky said this in an interview with The Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Trudy Rubin, published on Sunday, June 30.
According to him, Ukraine’s membership in NATO today is not supported by the current President Joe Biden or the US presidential candidate Donald Trump.
“We understand that the White House is not ready to give us an invitation to openly talk about it with President Biden to hear both opinions of both parties. And this indicates that everyone does not see Ukraine in NATO now.
According to Zelensky, such precautions are similar to “the steps of a sapper in a mine,” and not the policy of world leaders.
“Understanding all this, if there is no invitation for us now, then we want certain ones that if America is afraid of annoying Putin, and that is why we are not invited there, then we ask to the United States to give us everything that can defend us, we ask the Patriot, enough F-16, enough weapons to defend itself,” the president said.
We remind you that in an interview with TIME magazine, Joe Biden spoke about how he sees peace in Ukraine. According to him, this is “a guarantee that Russia will never occupy Ukraine.” But this, according to the American leader, does not mean the entry of Ukraine into NATO.
Earlier, Biden named the condition for Ukraine’s entry into the Alliance.
