Zelenskyу named the three main priorities of the NATO summit for Ukraine
President Volodymyr Zelenskyу said in Vilnius that Ukraine is attending the NATO summit for three things: security guarantees, an invitation to the North Atlantic bloc and weapons.
– I believe that we will receive this invitation (to NATO, – Ed.) when security conditions allow it. I want to discuss all these issues with partners. And the most important thing is security guarantees for Ukraine on the way to joining NATO, – he said.
Zelenskyу emphasized that Ukraine has three priorities on today’s agenda:
- The first is new support packages for our army on the battlefield.
- The second, I believe, is an invitation to NATO. We need your understanding that we have this invitation for as long as the security situation allows. We want to discuss all these things with our partners.
- And thirdly, today we will discuss security guarantees for Ukraine on the way to NATO.
