One of the reasons for the war is that Ukraine is not a member of NATO and does not have a certain security guarantee, the president is sure.
In a meeting with Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen, President Vladimir Zelensky, who commented on the statement of the 47th US President-elect Donald Trump that Ukraine’s possible membership in NATO has always been part of Russia’s great concern, advised against doing of hasty conclusions about United States policy. Ukrinform reported this on Wednesday, January 8.
“Remember, they told Ukraine that the Patriot systems can and do exist only in NATO countries, either we have been in NATO for a long time, or we should not make hasty conclusions other NATO-style weapons are required to work and do everything so that Ukraine receives the security guarantees that our people deserve that can stop Putin,” said Zelensky.
He also added that one of the reasons for the war is that Ukraine is not a member of NATO and does not have certain security guarantees.
“I will be honest, unfortunately, with all due respect to all the countries of Europe and the United States, with full due respect to the amount (of aid) given to us since the beginning of the war, but (for Ukraine’s membership in) NATO does not have the united support of the United States among all European allies. You know that there are countries that oppose our membership in NATO. These are America, Germany, Hungary and Slovakia speak openly, it needs to be addressed honestly, they didn’t see us there. I believe this is one of the reasons why we are now at war in Ukraine, and he thought he could destroy the Ukrainian army.
The President emphasized that now Ukraine has the right to demand serious, strong security guarantees.
He also added that until Ukraine is given meaningful security guarantees, it is useless to hope for the return of Ukrainians from Europe.
Let’s remember that Trump considers ending the war in Ukraine as his top priority after taking office.
