The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said that membership in NATO remains the best security guarantee for Ukraine, but Ukraine does not expect an invitation from anyone.
He stated this during a briefing in Brussels on Wednesday, December 18, NV writes.
“We have sanctions, financial, and weapons packages guarantees. Today Giorgia Meloni (Prime Minister of Italy — ed.) spoke about the next support package for Ukraine. All this is not enough to guarantee that Putin will not come again. The best thing is a strong army, the largest in Europe. We have no right to limit the strength of our army. But strong guarantees are the Alliance. Strong economy. While the war is going on, we have a big deficit in the budget, UAH 40-42 billion,” the president commented.
To a clarifying question from Radio NV about from whom Kyiv expects an invitation, if those around the future US President Donald Trump and the current administration of the White House are opposed to inviting Ukraine to the Alliance now, the president answered that Ukraine is fighting for this right.
“We do not expect from anyone, we fight for this right. Each such decision is a very complex part of the history of our country. Therefore, we cannot expect from anyone, we can do our best to make it work for us,” Zelensky clarified.
Earlier, Zelensky called concessions on Ukrainian territories legally impossible, but admitted that they will remain under occupation.
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andriy Sybiga, stated that Ukraine will not accept any peace initiatives with half-hearted solutions that involve compromises regarding sovereignty or territorial integrity.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied the information of the Financial Times newspaper that the head of the department Andriy Sybiga discussed territorial concessions of Russia with Western politicians.
